1997-12-11 Getting The Most Out Of Integration After Retreat 53:27
Gloria Taraniya Ambrosia
This talk spotlights things we experience during integration at the end of retreat and considers how to use re-entry well. Because of an enhanced sensitivity we are keenly aware of our usual mode of interacting, the impulsiveness of our actions, the impact of our speech. We also see our innate goodness with greater clarity. We need to feel the impact of all of this so that we reap the greatest benefit. Exhale retreat; inhale the rest of our lives. And try not to judge our practice.
