Inter-Dependence Day � Family Retreat 2005

A New Look, A New Face for the �Family'
July 1 st to 4 th , 2005
For children and their parents

This is our annual retreat for the family to be together and enjoy the practice of mindful living and to benefit from the natural beauty of Deer Park Monastery. It is a time to take refuge in our spiritual family and to come back and restore ourselves. During the retreat, there will be activities for parents and the children separately, and together. We will explore and examine the activity of raising a family as an act of building �Sangha' and how to do it happily and joyfully. We will look at the concept of �family' in the light of meditation, that is to look deeply at our perceptions, our ideas, our habits and roles surrounding family. We will learn to recognize the parent seeds and child seeds in all of us and how to handle them with mindfulness as they manifests and not as habitual reactions. (Other activities: bonfire, mountain hike & picnic, movie night).
