Ajahn Amaro

Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Marin County, CA:

"Spring Fever" - We often relate to arisings and beginnings as intrinsically and wholly good (think: kids & puppies, spring flowers...) but, surely, there's more to the story, for everything in nature tends to create its opposite...

This will be a day of reflections and practices on the themes of interest and enthusiasm, & their painful shadow, the obsessive quality of 'becoming.' Most usefully we will explore the ways that the heart can be freed from such obsessive addictions and that the cycles of nature can be integrated harmoniously.
