Dear Friends of Flowering Lotus
An Extraordinary Meditation Opportunity
September 8th – 10th, 2017
Deepening Awareness & Strengthening Community
An Insight Meditation Retreat with Ruth King
Racial ignorance, hatred, and suffering are now present at viral levels throughout our world. Yet despite the appearance of division and separation, our existence is part of a global constellation – a karmic soup that we all must taste. In this weekend retreat, Ruth King shares strategies for polishing the third jewel, sangha (spiritual community) in these challenging times. In sitting and walking meditation, guided by Ruth, we will explore belonging as a necessary part of awakening; discomfort as a call to intimacy with presence, and how wise awareness supports the experience of freedom, whatever our circumstances.
Ruth King is an insight meditation teacher, life coach, and emotional wisdom author and consultant. She is the founder of Mindful Members Meditation Community of Charlotte, NC; a core teacher in Spirit Rock’s Dedicated Practitioner Program; and a guiding teacher with Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC. She is the author of Healing Rage: Women Making Inner Peace Possible and the forthcoming Mindful of Race: Understanding & Transforming Habits of Harm (Sounds True, Spring 2018).
