Touching the Moment: Indelible Presence with Acharya Dale Asrael & Cynthia Moku

Rediscover the world with fresh perception as we blend meditation, contemplative arts, sensory awareness practices in nature and Hatha Yoga.

"Through practice, we develop new eyes and new ears." — Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Uniquely blending meditation, contemplative arts, sensory awareness practices in nature and hatha yoga, this retreat will provide a rich practice environment in which we can shed conditioned habit patterns and rediscover the world with fresh perception. As we investigate the four elements of our inner and outer worlds, we will open ourselves to the fullness of life. Experimenting with movement, rhythm, gesture and balance will be an integral part of our exploration.

Acharya Dale Asrael has been leading meditation retreats internationally for more than 25 years. A professor at Naropa University in the Transpersonal Counseling Psychology, Buddhist Studies and Contemplative Education departments, she also trains meditation instructors who wish to serve in hospices, prisons and homeless shelters.

Cynthia Moku has been practicing the art of thangka (scroll) painting since 1974. Both her traditional Buddhist and contemporary Western artwork is exhibited internationally. She is a professor at Naropa University in the Visual Arts and Contemplative Education programs.
