Touching the Earth
A Two Day Non-Residential Vipassana Retreat
With Ginny Morgan
  
May 4-6, 2007    
Ecumenical Buddhist Society of Little Rock
Little Rock, Arkansas

It is said that the Buddha reached down and touched the earth to acknowledge his right to a fully liberated heart.  This earth touching realization is available for all of us. In this retreat we will explore the ways that we get caught in our own stories of who we are and who we are not.  We will use the teachings that Buddha identified as his core instruction-a set of teachings that have been called the “wings” to awakening”.  The retreat will be held in silence and include alternating sitting and walking meditation with instructions and is open to beginning as well as experienced meditators.

Ginny Morgan lives in Columbia, Missouri. She is the guiding teacher for Show Me Dharma Center and the former President of the Board of Mid America Dharma, the emerging retreat center for the Midwest area. After working as a play therapist for acutely and chronically ill children for many years, she has shifted her focus to Dharma teaching, and to working exclusively for Dharma activities. She has studied with Ram Dass, Munindra-ji, Matthew Flickstein, and teachers from Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock Meditation Center.     

The retreat will be held in the meditation hall at the Ecumenical Buddhist Society, 1015 W. Second Street, Little Rock, Arkansas.
