Happy 1st day of Summer! + Summer Retreat!

'Fragrant Cloud'! The amount of rain that has fallen here completely bent this bloom's stem in half, so it had to be cut and brought inside. Lucky us!

 Summer Retreat! 

This little sweetheart is announcing the details of our upcoming annual Summer Retreat!

It's called the 'All & Nothing' Weekend Retreat.

It's held here in Vancouver, B.C.

It's on August 2, 3 & 4.

And, it's beautiful!

All of the details are posted on the MoniandTomas site here. 

We'd love for you to join us!

For reality to be, the ideas of "me" and "mine" must go. They will go if you let them. Then your normal natural state reappears, in which you are neither the body nor the mind, neither the "me" nor the "mine", but in a different state of being altogether. It is pure awareness of being, without being this or that, without any self-identification with anything in particular or in general. In that pure light of consciousness there is nothing, not even the idea of nothing. 

There is only light.
