Click on flier to make larger.Here is an opportunity to take another brief journey of awakening. (A description of our earlier one at Black Moshannon State Park is in the previous blog.)
We will gather in a box store's eatery taking with us no money, cell phones, or ipods. After an introduction and guidance on "Not Knowing and Bearing Witness" we will spend time in the store opening our awareness and experiencing directly our own responses to what attracts us. We let go of all thoughts of purchasing anything for ourselves as this would interfere with our direct seeing.
We will then reassemble to share our experiences with each other and start to shape any personal action that may arise from this time. I did this journey last night and was very surprised by what I encountered!
After Sunday I recommend viewing the video http://www.storyofstuff.com/ to see another view on the issue of consumption, and to add to processing of your experience. If you have already seen this video, please put memory of its presentation aside during your journey of discovery at the box store.
