Re: Forest walks

If you could camp out between Wednesday 4/29 and Monday 5/4, we could
camp at Counsel Springs (80 acres adjacent to Deer Park Monastery.
Dennis, the leaseholder, gave me permission to camp here when I was on
retreat at DPM for two weeks in January).
If you're not free until a later date, just email me when and where
you'd like to go. I plan to be near Santa Barbara after 5/4 (in or
near Los Padres NF), but might travel for mindful forest company.
The google groups, if they had more members, could be used to find
good company to spend time in the forest with-- And to share ideas
about how to organize ourselves and structure the forest sangha.
they're basically just email lists--
I'll cc the lists with this email--
I enjoyed reading your website ( http://lifebeyondtherapy.com -- so
the list readers can see it too). In particular the note about how we
may be using compulsive behaviors to temporarily reduce anxiety. And
that quote about skidding into the finish line of life saying "whoa!
What a ride!"
"beyond therapy" reminded of something-- I remember now: Jeffrey
Moussaif Masson's _Against Therapy_.
What's cool is that I'm at Counsel Springs right now! I took three
buses and then walked 1:30 to get here (4.5 mi?).
a breath and a smile,
Colin
