Hungry enough: We see in
many people a hunger that is ready to be fulfilled, after being hungry enough,
for long enough. We see people ready to receive genuine
nourishment, because they sense they can live fully, both open to and centered
in life.
We see a need to learn from intimacy with nature—accepting that the shift
towards ecological sanity will not happen because it should, but because
of the joy and satisfaction of simply living in rich contact with
nature.
We notice a need to bring wisdom not just into our inner reflection, but
also into our interaction with other people and the world.
We hear a silence longing to find a way of living fully with ease,
living without doing things we later regret.
Nourishing support: We see the ripeness in the Open
Dharma teachings—and in the collective of participants—now matched by an
ideal place to gather for mutual benefit.
We are ready to help grow an abundance of nourishment. The teachings
and collaboration of the Open Dharma facilitators have ripened with experience.
The collective of participants have grown enough inner authority to help
create and sustain this Open Dharma home.
The Open Centre facilities are so well-maintained and accessible that we
could hold a retreat there next week.
Why not?
