“The dreamcrossed twilight between birth and death…”
from Ash Wednesday, by T S Eliot
Please join us for a workshopping retreat as we develop a closer, more intimate relationship with the mind of image, which is imagination. Which can also be called sambhogakaya, rolpa, natural expression, sacred speech.
IMAGE - response to image
IMAGE - allowing space for image to rise
IMAGE - the energy of natural speech
IMAGE - the dynamic movement from formless to form
We will begin the day with meditation, a place of concentrated attention, where we can meet the mind of image.
We’ll listen to some poems, look at the images to be found there, and feel our response to them. The mind that responds to imagery is the same mind that gives rise to it.
We’ll do some exercises that ask for images to surface. We’ll spend time with what shows itself. We’ll see if a poem results!
