In Nature, Our True Nature

Led by Rev. WonGong

April 8 (Saturday) – April 15 (Saturday), 2023

Come and experience truth—the truth of our own nature!

Spring invites us to invoke our lively chi-energy. Come and experience the joy of our true nature with Rev. WonGong at the Southern Dharma Retreat Center in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

To go deep into our inner calm, we will observe noble silence, practicing many forms of meditation—sitting, movement, nature contemplation, journaling, DahnJon-abiding breathing, lying-down relaxation, and more. The program is designed to develop equanimity, insight, and mindfulness.

Our meditation will flow between practice at rest and practice in motion and will deepen each day with step-by-step guidance in qigong, tai-chi, yoga, and various breathing techniques. We will explore the relationship between healthy body energy and spiritual cultivation.

This retreat will include group and individual teaching and sharing with ample free time for hiking and rest. In harmony with the interconnectedness of all things, we will practice outdoors as much as weather permits and bathe in the vibrant mountain energy.

Please join us as we restore our calm, numinous awareness through the pristine authenticity of our true nature!

In the spirit of community, all retreatants should arrive on time and stay through the mid-day meal on our final day.
