SUMMARY:Tricycle’s Meditation Group in April
DESCRIPTION:Tricycle’s Meditation Group is an offering for Tricycle subscribers that provides weekly meditations and small group discussions led by renowned Buddhist teachers. \nThis April\, meditation teacher Mark Coleman will offer a rich variety of mindfulness in nature practices. During the program\, you will discover how taking your meditation outdoors invites a natural\, embodied\, awake presence.

After each meditation\, we will reconvene for either breakout group discussions or a Q&A with Mark. The sessions will range from 45 minutes to an hour. \nHere is the schedule: \nMonday\, April 7\, 11 a.m.–12 p.m. ET \nMonday\, April 14\, 11 a.m.–12 p.m. ET \nTuesday\, April 21\, 11 a.m.–12 p.m. ET \nMonday\, April 28\, 11 a.m.–12 p.m. ET \nThe sessions are typically only for Tricycle subscribers\, but Tricycle is offering April’s sessions for free to Mark’s community. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Natural Radiance: The Freedom of Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Note: Registration will open up in July 2024. \nwith Devon Hase\, Mark Coleman\, and Yong Oh \nAwareness is a beautiful\, hidden jewel that is innate in everyone. Awareness illuminates experience\, which supports clarity\, understanding\, and insight. It is the foundation for wisdom\, compassion\, and awakening. \nIn this silent meditation retreat\, we will explore this quality of awareness—what it is\, and how to cultivate and abide in awakened presence. We will investigate how mindfulness supports a depth of awareness through various meditation practices\, and we will look at what obscures the clarity of awareness both in meditation and in everyday life. As our mindfulness grows\, we discover how this capacity for awareness is available in every moment. \nTogether\, we will also explore the fusion of love and awareness and how developing awareness allows a natural opening of the heart\, which fosters a kind and compassionate awareness to ourselves\, others\, and to all experience. \nSuggested prerequisite: one silent mindfulness retreat. \n  \nLearn More and Register

When you go on this trip\, you get the same experience as their Classic Islands trip\, but with a focus on mindful meditation with and within nature. \nMeditation practitioner Mark Coleman has been practicing Buddhist meditation since 1984. He is a Spirit Rock Meditation Teacher and has been teaching Insight meditation retreats since 1997. The retreat is based on his book\, Awake in the Wild: Mindfulness in Nature as a Path of Self-Discovery. With Mark on this trip\, you have an experienced outdoorsman who can help you with the internal adjustments necessary on a trip like this. \nThe retreat will be mostly in silence to support the meditative process\, and there will be several periods of meditation daily as well as time for discussion\, talks on the themes of meditation in nature\, talking circles and opportunities for one to one work with the Mark Coleman. There will also be free time to paddle\, swim\, snorkel and enjoy this spectacular setting. \nAll Sea Trek Baja trips start in the quaint little town of Loreto\, located on the Baja peninsula about 600 miles south of San Diego. In most cases there is only one inbound and outbound flight a day\, so our afternoon/evening meeting on day 1\, and our end of trip logistics are built around that timing. \n  \nLearn More and Register
