By

Listen to the recording

 

Rev. Jay McCormick led this group discussion about this month’s movie, Seven Years In Tibet.

This biographical war drama set in Tibet in 1944 after World War II, prior to and leading up to China’s invasion of Tibet in 1950 stars Brad Pitt and David Thewlis as two friends mountaineering in British India.  Due to their German citizenship they are imprisoned by the British in a POW camp.  They manage a daring escape from the prison, and cross the border into Tibet, traversing the treacherous high plateau. While in Tibet, after initially being ordered to return to India, they are welcomed at the holy city of Lhasa, and become absorbed into an unfamiliar way of life. They meet the 14th Dalai Lama, who is still a boy, and becomes their tutor!  During their time together, the main character Heinrich becomes a close friend to the young spiritual leader.

Release date: 1997, Running time: 2 hr 16 minutes

Meditation, Hiking & Contemplation at the AT Retreat House ~ Sep 16-20

Meditation, Hiking & Contemplation

September 16-20, 2019
with Regina Dawn Akers
at the
Awakening Together Retreat House
in La Veta, Colorado

About the Retreat

This is a very active retreat with daily hikes in the Colorado mountains. Physical fitness and proper equipment (hiking boots/shoes, day pack, at least two water bottles, and rain gear) is required.  Participants are encouraged to arrive in Colorado by Saturday, September 14 in order to acclimate to the higher altitude before the first hike on Monday.

The hikes will begin easy and get progressively more challenging as the week progresses, but will not require technical mountain climbing skills. Anyone who participates in a regular exercise routine and loves the outdoors should do well at this retreat. The hikes are led by a fit 59-year old woman, so you can count on a moderate hiking pace.

Daily meditation, contemplation and spiritual discussion are an important part of the retreat. Expect to rise early on Tuesday through Friday in order to meditate each morning before taking off for the hiking trails. You will have time for contemplation on the mountain each day and each evening after returning to the Retreat House. If you are from out of town, we recommend staying at the Retreat House, since the mealtimes will cater to the retreat schedule. (There are very few restaurants in La Veta.)

Retreat Schedule

The retreat will begin at 9:30am on Monday, September 16 and end by 4pm on Friday, September 20. We recommend arriving in La Veta on Saturday, September 14 in order to acclimate to the higher altitude before hiking begins on Monday.

All guests are welcome to stay at the AT Retreat House for up to 28 days. Longer stays are possible with permission.

Retreat Fee: $200.
$50 non-refundable deposit.

Retreat House lodging cost is separate

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert will interview Suse Wicks for our Awakening Together Guest Satsang on August 18 at 7:30 pm ET. This is our second Satsang with Suse Wicks. Our last Satsang interview with Suse can be found at this link.

When asked for her latest biography, Suse wrote: “This expression best reflects my sharing:

Seeking confirms that one feels a loss, something missing, a separateness that needs to be fulfilled. Seeking is the search and belief that something has to be better than what is or something better is attainable. That is why the position of a seeker is endless. Everything that is appearing in every nano second is always whole, complete and pure just as it is. One has to make this discovery for oneself. Living life with no explanation is living life as unconditional love.”
