Not Knowing is Most Intimate: Practicing with Uncertainty and ChangeA Half-Day Retreat with Yong Oh
Saturday, February 21 from 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. In Person
"Not knowing is most intimate" is a well-known Zen teaching that can offer us a way of coming into relationship with uncertainty and change, both in our meditation practice and in our daily lives. In this half-day retreat, we'll touch into how 'not knowing' or 'don't-know mind' can offer us a way of meeting and navigating uncertain times, while offering a refuge from an epidemic of 'certainty'—an epidemic characterized by an overemphasis on fixed views or beliefs or the pressure of having to be the expert with all the right answers, the one who knows what to do. Join us as we both explore ways of knowing and the truth, beauty and relief of not having to 'know'.
This offering with Yong Oh will be held in-person only, and will include periods of meditation, Dharma reflections and Q&A.
COST: The fee for this retreat is on a sliding scale from $36 to $72. Scholarships are readily available through our online system at rates of $18 or $0.
The Dharma Center operates on the gift economy and the cost of the offering is on a two-part sliding scale. The fee that you offer through the registration system supports our non-profit, which pays the costs of the building, utilities, website, administration, etc. In keeping with our 2,600-year-old tradition, the teacher of the retreat is not compensated but rather shares the teachings freely. In turn, you are invited into the practice of dana, or generosity, a gift economy system that has been alive since the time of the Buddha. At any time, whether sporadically throughout the retreat or at the end, you are invited to make a donation or donations to support the teacher in continuing their valuable work. Donations in any amount whatsoever are gratefully received, and the practice of generosity is always elective.
DATE: Saturday, February 21 from 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
LOCATION: In person in the meditation hall at the Durango Dharma Center, 1800 East Third Avenue, Suite 109 in Durango
