We just completed our fall meditation retreat at Penuel Ridge, and our focus on impermanence couldn’t have been more evident in nature over the weekend. It went from sunny and warm, to overcast, to heavy rains and cold, then back to perfectly clear and crisp on Sunday morning. We even enjoyed an incredible rushing waterfall after the rains. On Halloween night, the almost full moon, perfectly circled by brightly lit clouds, was truly a sight to see against the backdrop of the rural Tennessee ridges.
We were honored to have participants join us from Chicago and San Diego. Their journey to Nashville was touch and go but they finally made it to the retreat site late Thursday night with the help from another retreat participant who patiently waited at the airport for a flight that was three hours late. We had people of all levels of meditation experience, from brand new to decades of sitting practice. Everyone gave it their all, which was especially evident by the strength of the group meditation practice on Sunday morning. Many thanks to everyone who participated and supported this fulfilling retreat.
