Surviving (with joy) a Swealtering Summer Weekthun

 
Weekthun: a weeklong retreat practicing Shamatha Vipassyana meditation.
Summer: a time when it can be 100 degrees  F.
Participant Lianne Ritchi wrote: "An amazing week underlining discipline and precision with gentle compassion. Steve held our group together through a nasty heatwave, with insight and kindness. Our practice with thoughtful contemplations offered openness and bravery. While we enjoyed getting to know each other, the silence and the heat turned us beautifully inward. Thank you all at Sky Lake."
