SUMMARY:Nourishing a Peaceful and Spacious Heart - Educator Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends\, registration is now closed. Thank you so much. Please email us at morningsunoffice@gmail.com to join our waitlist.  \nMorningSun is so happy to offer this retreat for classroom teachers\, administrators\, social workers\, others in the field of education\, and basically anyone who works with youth/young people. \nOur lead facilitators will be Dharma Teachers Richard Brady and Fern Dorresteyn\, and Wake Up Schools educator Elena Cardo. We invite you to join these longtime educators and wonderful Dharma Teachers from the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh for this special retreat. (see below for bio details) \n\nThis is a Wake-Up Schools Level I Retreat.  For more information\, visit wakeupschools.org (there is a lot of inspiring material available on their site!) \nAND... \nThis year we will also hold a Completion Ceremony for Wake-Up Level II participants. YAY! \n\n3 CEU’s available: Please remember that if you are currently employed as a teacher you may be able to have your retreat cost covered by your employer as this is an accredited CEU program. For more information and to apply\, please email Bobbi at bobbi.schnorr@gmail.com. \n\nThe retreat will offer participants a chance to refresh themselves and cultivate their own personal mindfulness practice as a base for any sharing of mindfulness with others. It will support them to have an experiential understanding of the practices\, and develop the language and skills needed to bring the practice back to the communities they serve. They will also learn effective methods to enhance presence and connection with others\, attention\, kindness\, and emotional well-being inside and outside the classroom. \nThe retreat center at MorningSun offers an intimate setting in nature that pleasantly supports our communal practice of mindfulness. The modest retreat size is a precious and powerful opportunity that allows for every participant to have personal contact with facilitators. \nWe are excited to welcome you to our community of practice! \nPractices during the retreat will include: \n\nSitting and Walking Meditation\nEating Meditation and Deep Relaxation\nCircle Sharing\, Loving speech & deep listening\nBeginning anew (conflict resolution)\nStopping\, Pausing\, and Looking Deeply\nBells of Mindfulness in Daily Life\n\nThe retreat will also include: \n\nWorkshops for sharing mindfulness practice with youth\nWays to develop mindful communication\nInspiration to support mindfulness practice among co-workers and school staff\nAnd more…\n\n\n\nLead Teachers: \nRichard Brady is a retreat leader\, writer\, educational consultant\, and coordinator of the Wake Up Schools Level II Program in North America.  He is a founder of the Mindfulness in Education Network\, an international organization with 1\,700 participants. In 2001\, he received lamp transmission from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to be a Dharma teacher in his tradition with a special focus on cultivating mindfulness in young people.  Richard has lead retreats and offered workshops for educators in the US\, Italy\, and Germany. He is an editor of Tuning In: Mindfulness in Teaching and Learning (2009). Other writings are available at www.mindingourlives.net. \nFern Dorresteyn is a Dharma teacher in the Plum Village tradition\, a founder of the Morning Sun Mindfulness Community\, and a mother of three.  She lived in Plum Village monasteries for nine years\, training in the meditative arts as a nun for seven. While in Plum Village she worked with the Plum Village community and Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh to organize and offer meditation retreats around the world. She has been organizing and leading children’s programs and mindfulness retreats for families in  the Plum Village tradition since 1996.  In 2006 she completed a training at Sophia’s Hearth Family Center for caring for young children and families. \nElena Cardo is a public school teacher and retreat leader who began practicing mindfulness in the Plum Village tradition in 1998. A high school art teacher for 25 years\, Elena has infused mindfulness into her classroom\, and ultimately into her school. Since creating a mindfulness room where students and staff are invited to breathe\, Elena has taught Mindfulness classes to students and offers professional development workshops to teachers and staff.\nNow a Wake Up Schools Level II facilitator\, Elena has led retreats and workshops for educators. She is inspired to support  educators to embody a peaceful\, happy presence through the practices of mindfulness\, so they may in turn share these practices with colleagues and students in their school communities. \n\n\nLogistics: \nArrival for the retreat is Wednesday\, July 3rd\, from 3pm to 6pm. Departure is on Sunday July 7th\, after lunch at 2pm. Please provide your own transportation to and from MorningSun. \nThis is a small retreat and spaces are limited. The intimate nature of this small retreat is rare for educators retreats\, and registration will likely be closed well before the retreat begins.  You will receive confirmation of your space upon registration and receipt of payment. \nAccommodations:  \n\nDormitory Beds:  We have several rooms available in El Cielo (our retreat building) (beds for 10-14 people depending on whether folks are alone\, or couples\, or in a ‘pod’).  We also have a few dormitory beds available in our simple living yurt.\nCamping:  Our campground is primitive\, with flat sandy sites\, outdoor showers and composting toilets. You must provide your own tent and camping equipment. Campers will also have access to the first floor toilet and clothes washing machine in El Cielo.\nCommute: You may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally.

SUMMARY:Winter Solstice Celebration of Light
DESCRIPTION:Dear friends on the path\, \nWe are so happy to be able to celebrate this season together. Our practices throughout the weekend will invite us to find space and warmth inside ourselves\, to touch the healing and deep quiet of this time of year\, and to feel the light of our love and compassion. \nThe heart of the weekend is a Celebration of Light on Saturday afternoon – 3:30-6pm. \n\nIt will include a Tea Meditation and Offering (a tea meditation in which we enjoy mindfully drinking our tea and listening to offerings from the community)  The offering could be a poem\, song\, musical piece or short story with the theme of the season of inner light\, the Winter Solstice.  You can also share a meaningful or joyful personal story from the winter/holiday season\, recently or reaching back into childhood memories.\nThe Celebration will culminate with a Spiral Walk and Candle Lighting Ceremony. We will meditate on the Solstice\, being embraced by the quiet dark and awakening our inner light of compassion. Then\, with music and silent prayers\, we will each walk the spiral\, light our candle and place it as an offering in the spiral.\n\nYou can attend the Celebration of Light on Saturday\, OR come only for the Day of Mindfulness on Sunday\, OR come for the whole weekend\, (arriving Friday evening and helping to prepare for the Celebration during the day an Saturday as well as attending the practice on Sunday). \n\n(Scroll Down to Register) \n\nWe have set up a registration form that allows for attending all or part of the weekend program: \n\nSolstice Weekend – Friday 7pm-Sunday 2pm  Early arrival on Friday evening after dinner through to the end of the Day of Mindfulness of Sunday.  On Saturday\, the morning will have a light schedule of meditation and relaxation\, a BYO bagged lunch\, and then some simple working meditation to prepare for the evening Solstice Celebration. Dinner will be provided after the Celebration for those staying overnight. Then wake for breakfast on Sunday before attending the Day of Mindfulness. Please note that Morning Sun will prepare your meals while you are here\, with the exception of Saturday lunch (bagged vegetarian BYO) (more accommodation and meal details are on the registration form).\nCelebration of Light – Saturday 3:30-6:00  We will gather in the meditation hall to share tea\, cookies\, singing and stories from all traditions (you are welcome to bring a story\, song or poem!) culminating with a winter spiral walk. With quiet song and reverence\, the room moves from complete darkness to radiant light as\, one by one\, each of us (adults and children) adds our candle to the evergreen spiral in the center of the room\, placing a prayer of virtue and peace.\nDay of Mindfulness – Sunday 9:30-2:00  This day of mindfulness is open for everyone. It will include sitting meditations\, a Dharma sharing circle\, outdoor walking meditation\, and vegetarian BYO bagged lunch (if you are staying overnight from Saturday your lunch is included in your program and will be prepared by MorningSun).\n\n\n\nAccommodations: Depending on the time of year we have several types of accommodations. \n\nWe have several rooms available in El Cielo (formerly “The Barn”) (beds for 10-14 people depending on whether folks are alone\, or couples\, or in a ‘pod’).\nYou may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally (or book a hotel/airbnb).\n\n\nRetreat Conduct: There will be periods of silence and periods to enjoy conversations with others. To create a gentle and quiet retreat atmosphere\, we practice with the Five Mindfulness Trainings. Meals will be plant-based (vegetarian)\, and we do not drink alcohol\, ingest intoxicants or any recreational drugs. Firearms and other weapons are not permitted in the Mindfulness Center. In order for everyone to feel respected and safe during their retreat MorningSun will not support or tolerate any act of bullying\, discrimination\, sexual harassment or assault. On arrival each participant must affirm these practices by signing a commitment to maintain retreat conduct. \nDear friends\, our onsite accommodations in El Cielo are full for this gathering. Please email us at morningsunoffice@gmail.com to join the waitlist for accommodations.

SUMMARY:Musician's Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Musician’s Retreat: music as a practice\, letting go of performance \nMusic\, song\, and chanting can be a wonderful practice opportunity and a vehicle to offer our communication\, aliveness\, healing and connection. For many\, we may have a “story” that says we aren’t “good enough” or that we are “too much\,” which can silence/block us in painful ways. You are invited to join recording musical artists\, Order of Interbeing practitioners Lynn Deeves and Honey Bear for a weekend of joyful practice\, inquiry and heart-song as we co-create the possibility of accompanying and befriending our inner and outer voices. \nMusicians of all levels are welcome to attend. \nPractices will include: \nSitting meditation\nWalking meditation\nMindful eating\nTouching the Earth\nDeep Relaxation\nCircle Sharing\nLoving Speech/Deep Listening \nAlso at this retreat\, practices may include: \nChanting\nEmbodied exercises\nDyad sharing\nJournaling\nDeep Looking\n“Be-In” \n  \nMusic Guides and Facilitators for the Retreat \nLynn Deeves is a mindfulness practitioner\, OI member &amp; Maine-based\, singer-songwriter. Music has been a constant from top-40 rock stages to most recently\, the release of “Songs from a Peaceful Heart\,” recorded at Morning Sun with soulful and heartfelt contributions from Michael Ciborski\, Lark Holmes and many lay/monastic friends. Lynn offers music in 2 sangha’s and in connecting with the 3-5 year old children with special needs whom she is blessed to work with. She has co-lead retreats in Maine\, NH and Vt. Dharma teacher/NVC trainer Peggy Smith shares: “Songs from a Peaceful Heart was the only music that my nervous system enjoyed during the pandemic/lockdown.”  https://lynndeeves.hearnow.com \nGary Brain often to referred to as Honey Bear lives in Morning Sun with his best friends Mary Beth and Jaxi. Practices NVC\, baking\, and works in the 12 step community frequently. He practiced for many years in the Bay Area and was ordained an OI member in 2009 as a sibling in the Mountain family. Music gave form and voice to feelings and thoughts he didn’t know words for. He has practiced with The Guitar Circle of North America and played backing moods to countless events\, tracks\, and campfires. \n\n\nLogistics: Arrival for the retreat is Friday Dec 8th between 4 and 6pm. Departure is on Sunday after lunch on Dec 10th\, at 2pm.  After you complete registration process you will receive the full information for the retreat\, like what to bring and schedule details\, etc. \nCost: There are two parts to the program cost: \n\nThe Program itself (offered on an affordable sliding scale ($180-380/person))\nAccommodations (beds in dormitory rooms ($100/person) or commuting which is free)\n\nFinancial Assistance:  Anyone who wishes to attend the retreat will be welcomed\, no matter of financial ability. If the lowest tier is still too high for you\, you may self select a percentage for financial assistance within the registration form.  If you need a full scholarship please contact us. \nAccommodations:  We have several rooms available in “El Cielo” (beds for 10-14 people depending on whether folks are alone\, or couples\, or in a ‘pod’)\, and also camping.   You may also choose to commute in and out if you live locally (or book a hotel/airbnb). \nDear friends\, in keeping our retreat size small and connected\, registration has been closed.
