Simply Wild: Esalen, July 2013

Simply Wild: Experiencing Nature

"With the bare attention of awareness and wilderness as our teacher we show up for our life as it unfolds moment to moment. We make inquiry into to the process of getting out of our own way — doing less and being more. Cultivating silence, space, and simplicity we come into intimate contact with the raw beauty of this mysterious world."

Thank you... each of you, individually, and collectively for joining together in moments of intimate contact with the raw beauty of this mysterious world.

Here are some links to hopefully help weave a thread from this life — to your other lives:

Heartfelt Thanks,

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness
