TMS will host a two day, non-residential retreat March 10 and 11 2012 with renowned teacher, Eric Kolvig.  The retreat will be held at:

‘I AM That I AM Ministeries’ Meditation Center in Taos on 522 Paseo del Pueblo Norte. The Center is located on the corner of Paseo del Pueblo Norte and Theodora Street, with ample parking off Theodora Street. This is a particularily beautiful space and the retreat promises to be an important one in your practice.

Eric Kolvig, Ph.D., has been teaching Vipassana (insight meditation) since 1985 and has a strong interest in helping build spiritual community in democratic, non-authoritarian ways. He travels throughout the United States to lead meditation retreats, including those specifically for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people. His primary teachers are Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg and Michele McDonald. He lives in a spiritual community in Embudo, New Mexico and has taught for many years at TMS.

The Retreat Schedule will alternate between Sitting and Walking Meditations, Guided Meditations, Dhamma talks, and open Question and Answer time.

Time: 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM both Saturday and Sunday, March 10 and 11 2012. Participants are requested to attend both days to maintain continuity.

There is no limit on number of participants and the Retreat is open to all levels of practice experience.

Cost: $50 for the two days - non refundable.

Scholarships: are available for those in need, and no one is turned away due to lack of funds.  See the Scholarship page on the website.

Registration: Registration is now open, and you can forward your expression of interest along with a check for the cost of the retreat to: Bob Parker, Manager, PO Box 893, Taos, NM 87571. Please send an email to Bob at rpataos@gmail.com with your intention to attend.  You may also register at the Sangha.

What to Bring: Please bring your own cushion or bench or back jack and a bag lunch for both days.  There are plenty of chairs at the Center for those who wish to sit on a chair.  Tea and juices will be provided. We are still in the winter season and you will want warm clothing for walking meditation out of doors.

Accommodations: While this is a non-residential retreat, there are two relatively inexpensive motels within a very short walking distance of the Center: El Pueblo Lodge at 412 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, Taos, tel: 575-758-8700, and the Best Western Kachina Lodge at 413 Paseo del Pueblo del Norte, Taos, tel: 800-522-4462.  There are also less expensive motels located elsewhere in Taos. Please Google Taos Accommodations. Out of town participants should make their own reservations for accommodation. CID’S Food Market is located at 623 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, Taos, and carries a wide range of natural and organic foods and lunch items.

There may be a limited number of spaces available in local homes.  If you are interested please let Bob Parker know.
