The Magic of Awareness

Trudy is joined by James Baraz, Anam Thubten, and Jill White Lindsay for this transformative retreat at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.

The paradox of awareness is profound and yet very simple. It can’t be described because it has no objective qualities and no limitations. Sometimes it comes naturally to the surface when we are fully in the present moment and no longer lost in thoughts or mental projections. Awareness is neither pleasant nor unpleasant, neither good nor bad.

In this retreat we will learn how to pay attention to this quality of awareness through formal and informal meditation. Once we know how to pay attention, it can be experienced in an instant, in all circumstances. When we learn to reside in that liberated mind, we find the very thing we have been seeking all along.

This retreat includes silent sitting and walking periods combined with instructions and practice meetings with teachers and daily Dharma talks. This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.

Sangha Live

Sangha Live

Trudy will be teaching via Sangha Live, a global online platform for interactive dharma classes and courses, on Sunday, April 21. This online class includes guided meditation, dharma talk, and an interactive Q&A, and is offered on dana/generosity-basis.

During this session, we will be exploring the topic of :

Presence as an Act of Compassion and Love

Mindful presence is the necessary ground of compassion and care. With presence, we courageously enter an intimacy that connects us with ourselves, each other and the world, body, heart and spirit.

The beautiful truth is that presence and love can grow and blossom through the practices of meditation and mindful loving awareness. Let's join together to do this, with teachings, meditation, and heartfelt sharing!

The class is 1.5 hours long and begins at:

11am PT (L.A.) / 2pm ET (N.Y.) / 7pm GMT (London) / 8pm CET (Paris)
