Sometimes they appear as messengers from the otherworld, as in Celtic mythology; in some North American traditions they represent ancestor spirits come to bestow good fortune on whoever beholds them in the woods.<\/p>\n Arthurian legend draws on the white deer\u2019s elusive, fleeting, transient qualities to characterize its pursuit as representing a sacred quest. Its appearance marked a definitive change, signaling that the time to set out on some new spiritual adventure was at hand.<\/p>\n Many of us recognize or remember some sense of a summons or call to break free of the limitations of what you know, to set out on some as yet unknown path in our life. We can’t say where we are going – but we sense it might lead to a more profound experience of ourselves as someone alive and moving through the world. The White Deer of this retreat with Paramananda and Bodhilila is<\/em> that call \u2013 to go forth from our own limited, self-regarding perspectives towards better, kinder, wiser connections with others.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Home Retreat Live Session Times (click to see)” open_toggle_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_tablet=”” title_phone=”Home Retreat Live Session Times (tap to see)” title_last_edited=”on|phone” open_toggle_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” closed_toggle_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” icon_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” icon_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” icon_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” open_icon_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”See the Retreat Session Times” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_line_height=”1.7em” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_font_size=”18px” body_link_font=”|||||||#0c3179|” body_link_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” max_width=”1170px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” title_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” title_font_size_tablet=”” title_font_size_phone=”16px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” closed_title_font_size_tablet=”” closed_title_font_size_phone=”16px” closed_title_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”” body_font_size_phone=”16px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_link_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” body_link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” body_link_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” border_color_all_tablet=”” border_color_all_phone=”” border_color_all_last_edited=”on|phone” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22body_link_text_color%22,%22body_link_text_color_tablet%22,%22body_link_text_color_phone%22,%22icon_color_phone%22,%22icon_color_tablet%22,%22icon_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color_tablet%22,%22open_toggle_text_color_phone%22,%22title_text_color%22,%22title_text_color_tablet%22,%22title_text_color_phone%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color_tablet%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color_phone%22,%22border_color_all%22%93}”]First daily session (2 hrs):\u00a0<\/strong>USA PST 01:30 | M\u00e9xico 03:30 | USA EST 04:30 |\u00a0IE & UK 09:30 | Europe CET 10:30 | India 14:00 | Australia AEST 18:30 | New Zealand NZST 20:30<\/p>\n Second daily session (1.5 hrs, with optional breakout rooms):<\/strong> USA PST 07:30 | M\u00e9xico 09:30 | USA EST 10:30 | IE & UK 15:30 | Europe CET 16:30 | India 20:00 | Australia AEST 00:30 (next day) | New Zealand NZST 02:30 (next day)<\/p>\n Third daily session (60-75 mins):<\/strong> USA PST 11:00 | M\u00e9xico 13:00 | USA EST 14:00 | IE & UK 19:00 | Europe CET 20:00 | India 23:30 | Australia AEST 04:00 (next day) | New Zealand NZST 06:00 (next day)<\/p>\n N.B.

What would it be like to experience yourself without restrictive concepts? What dimensions might open up in your life as you engage with myths and symbols? Awareness, or mindfulness, is an essential foundation for all spiritual growth. And through knowing experience directly we can transform difficulties and become happier, calmer and more fulfilled. But awareness offers much more: it also provides a doorway to other dimensions in the large chamber of our being. Awareness of the body, heart and mind can blossom into awareness of boundlessness, love and mystery, as Buddhist teachers have taught down the millennia.<\/p>\n Imagination is a key to this opening. When our minds are clear and we\u2019re alive to what\u2019s within us and around us, our imaginations wake up to new possibilities.

or when crossing a swift shallow stream
on stepping stones
or just sitting still in your room
catching the song of a bird
woven into the din of your city
your body might reveal its self to you
as a home for the world
a glimpse that you
are entirely beyond yourself
like the white deer at the beginning of a fable
and if without hesitation you follow
you will find your self gloriously lost
in the rise and fall of your seasons<\/p>\n\n
