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 URL:https://www.springwatercenter.org/calendar/7-day-retreat-w-wayne-coger-and-sandra-gonzalez-in-person-and-online/ CATEGORIES:Sandra,Wayne ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.springwatercenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Wayne-and-Sandra.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240830T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240903T163000 DTSTAMP:20240329T092203 CREATED:20231031T184925Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231201T153026Z UID:5476-1725046200-1725381000@www.springwatercenter.org SUMMARY:4-Day Retreat with Sandra Gonzalez (in-person and online) DESCRIPTION:Sandra will give talks and meet with participants privately and in the afternoon dialogue group in this autumn retreat. \n\nSandra Gonzalez began working with Toni Packer in 1988.
