There is still space available to register for the Saturday Retreat (formerly All Day Sitting) on January 31st with a talk by Wayne Coger. 

Wayne Coger has led retreats since 2001.  For more than 30 years he worked with Toni Packer, and previously he studied at the Rochester Zen Center.  Wayne has been on staff at Springwater Center since 1983, and in December 2015 was appointed to the position of  Administrator by the Board of Trustees.

“In being fully here, there is also a possibility for true creativity.  This creativity is neither mine or yours — there is simply an energy to respond.  Problems and situations reveal themselves in open attention and an appropriate response can arise in this attention.  In being fully here — listening to each other and letting go of our opinions and defenses — amazing possibilities and opportunities come to light.  Opportunities not only to solve or meet problems, but to see how we function in relationship with each other — to see the limitations of the thought-created world of me and my worries, opinions and defenses.”
