Online Open Meditative Dialogue Saturday,
September 12th, with Guest Speaker Rick Holmgren

Please join us as we gather online this coming Saturday for an Open Meditative Dialogue with guest speaker Rick Holmgren .

Rick has been exploring meditative and personal development practices for most of his adult life. He first encountered meditative inquiry at Springwater in 2017 and has been a regular participant in Springwater retreats since then. He credits meditative inquiry and dialogue with helping shift an intellectual understanding into lived experience. 

Rick’s meditative work is grounded in a visceral understanding of wholeness. He writes, “Meditative inquiry invites me to rest in this moment. The deeper I sink into what is here now, the more I understand that there is nothing we need to do and nothing we need to fix. We are, each one of us, already whole.” 

The schedule is as follows:  

September 12th Schedule (Times given are Eastern Daylight Time)
1:30 – 1:55 pm – Timed Sitting
2:00 – 2:30 pm – Talk by Rick Holmgren
2:40 – 4:00 pm – Open Meditative Group Dialogue

Zoom Access for this event:
DIRECT LINK or
Zoom.us Meeting ID: 289 037 6188, Passcode: 7179 
Find your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdsftvqRwr

Speaking and dialoguing at Springwater Center is different from a lecture or a discussion group where we share what we already know. The spirit of meditative inquiry infuses talks and dialogues with a sense of exploration and discovery, of being open to the freshness of not knowing. Join the program online and experience this for yourself.

Online Open Meditative Dialogues are donation-based events. To contribute in support, a donation of $12 per attendance is suggested. Please use the button below to donate, and choose the “Online Sittings/Programs” option. Your generosity helps keep online programs available for all to attend.
Thank you.

A Special Offering from a Local Friend: Friday, September 18th Sound Bath with Robin Blakesley

We will be hosting local friend Robin Blakesley who will be offering a sound bath at the Center on Friday evening at 7pm.

From Robin:

Sound baths are an opportunity for participants to relax and experience being “bathed” in sound waves from various sources of healing instruments including chimes, singing bowls, rattles, tuning forks and instruments that mimic the elements of nature.

Robin will be offering this event on a donation basis, with proceeds benefiting the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. If you think you would like to attend, please let us know at info@springwatercenter.org.
