SUMMARY:7-Day Retreat w/Wayne Coger and Sandra Gonzalez (in-person and online)
DESCRIPTION:The beautiful month of May brings Sandra and Wayne together again for a retreat in which both will give talks and meet with participants privately and in the afternoon dialogue groups. \nSandra Gonzalez has led retreats in both English and Spanish for several years. She began working with Toni in 1988. Previously\, she studied at other meditation centers. Sandra was born and raised in Nicaragua. She leads or participates in retreats in Springwater and other locations each year. She writes:\n \nPresence invites presence when there is no resistance\, no ownership of ideas\, experiences or things\, no worrying\, no hurrying\, no judging\, no defending–just the ease of life when we meet without wanting things to be otherwise. Certainly we all can participate; presence is free and available to all of us. There is a true beauty in this. \nWayne Coger has led retreats since 2001. For more than 30 years he worked with Toni Packer\, and has been a staff member of the Center since 1983. Currently he is serving as Administrator. Previously\, he studied at the Rochester Zen Center. He says:\n \nToni Packer asked me if I would share the work that we do with others. While I have never had any desire to become a ‘teacher\,’ exploring the work of meditative inquiry has been my deepest joy and passion for many years. What excites me is this possibility to look at anything and everything freshly\, without inhibitions or strictures. It is through this open inquiry that we begin to learn about ourselves. To learn how we are when we are not bound by our ideas and self-images. \nClick here to register for this retreat

SUMMARY:Seven-Day Retreat with Sandra Gonzalez and Susan Schepp (in-person and online)
DESCRIPTION:Sandra and Susan have been engaged in meditation and meditative work at the Center for many years. Sandra give talks and take part in the afternoon group dialogues\, as well as being available for group and private meetings. Susan hopes to attend the retreat\, but health issues unfortunately limit the extent that she can participate. \nSandra Gonzalez has led retreats in both English and Spanish for several years. She began working with Toni in 1988. Previously\, she studied at other meditation centers. Sandra was born and raised in Nicaragua. She leads or participates in retreats in Springwater and other locations each year.

Certainly we all can participate; presence is free and available to all of us. There is a true beauty in this. \nSusan Schepp has a deep commitment to meditative work and has been involved in the Center since its inception. She has a small collection of poems she’s written at the Center\, including one she read during a talk last June: \nRipples upon ripples\nstretch across the pond\nThe golden glistening stems of cattails\nbend graciously in the wind\npaying homage to the day.\nLeaves released from their trees\ngently float across the sky.\nOne wonders\nis there really such a thing as inside and out?

SUMMARY:Seven-Day Retreat with Wayne Coger and Sandra Gonzalez
DESCRIPTION:Due to low in-person attendance the upcoming retreat with Wayne and Sandra will take place primarily online via Zoom. Also it has been shortened to be a seven-day retreat\, running from Saturday May 7 to Saturday May 14. \nJust as in retreat timed sittings and talks will take place from the sitting room and private meetings with the facilitators will continue to be available. Also as in retreat\, the main building will be in silence\, with the exception of the afternoon online dialogues as people participate from their rooms on their own devices.  A lunch will be served each day following the talk. Other meals will be self-serve and participants will do their own dishes after each self-serve meal.  \nIn essence\, this online retreat will embody all the elements of a traditional retreat but in a more informal atmosphere. We hope this approach will work for both online participants and in-person guests. \n\nSandra Gonzalez has led retreats in both English and Spanish for several years. She began working with Toni in 1988. Previously\, she studied at other meditation centers. Sandra was born and raised in Nicaragua. She leads or participates in retreats in Springwater and other locations each year. She writes:\n \nPresence invites presence when there is no resistance\, no ownership of ideas\, experiences or things\, no worrying\, no hurrying\, no judging\, no defending–just the ease of life when we meet without wanting things to be otherwise. Certainly we all can participate; presence is free and available to all of us. There is a true beauty in this. \nWayne Coger has led retreats since 2001. For more than 30 years he worked with Toni Packer\, and has been a staff member of the Center since 1983. Currently he is serving as Administrator. Previously\, he studied at the Rochester Zen Center. He says:\n \nToni Packer asked me if I would share the work that we do with others. While I have never had any desire to become a ‘teacher\,’ exploring the work of meditative inquiry has been my deepest joy and passion for many years. What excites me is this possibility to look at anything and everything freshly\, without inhibitions or strictures. It is through this open inquiry that we begin to learn about ourselves. To learn how we are when we are not bound by our ideas and self-images.
