WORLD DHARMA MEDITATION RETREAT
ALAN CLEMENTS & SPECIAL GUESTS

World Dharma is the Universal Practice of Shared Freedom, Environmental Sanity and Global Human Rights

The Integration of Mindfulness Training with Insight Meditation, Yoga,
Buddhist Psychology, Activism, and the Liberating Art of Being, Human

A Seven Day Retreat – Friday Oct 7 to Friday Oct 14, 2016
Hollyhock Retreat and Leaning Centre, Cortes Island, BC, Canada
The retreat experience is grounded in the practices of mindfulness meditation from the lineage of Alan Clements’ Buddhist teachers – Burma’s Mahasi Sayadaw and Sayadaw U Pandita – and a trans-traditional World Dharma elevating freedom, dignity, and universal rights.

“The mind is a living organism that chaperons us everywhere, haloing our bodies as the biosphere does the earth. It informs us of everything we think, feel, and say. Consciousness is as central to life as the ecosystem is to the earth. We can’t live without it, nor can it be escaped. It is home. Neglect consciousness — denigrate it, violate it — and like the earth, the individual suffers, and often causes suffering, too. On the other hand, nurture consciousness — understand its nature, inhabit it wisely — and we flourish, and elevate society too.”

RETREAT TRAINING OVERVIEW AND SCHEDULE
Praise for ALAN CLEMENTS & A FUTURE TO BELIEVE IN
“This culture is killing the planet. If we are to have any future at all, we must unlearn everything this culture has taught us and begin to listen to the planet, to listen to life — the core intelligence of nature and the human heart. This book not only helps us with that unlearning process — the greatest challenge humankind has every faced — it provides the essential wisdom, the spiritual intelligence, to open ourselves to finally start to hear.”Derrick Jensen, Author of Endgame and Deep Green Resistance
“This book is the music of wisdom, a dance with the finest places of the human heart. It is also like a walk with your favorite friends, mentors and teachers as they point out the beauties of the journey. You will want to keep this timeless treasure within reach, so you can open it to any page, and let a paragraph or a line ignite you again to the truth of your own being.”Joanna Macy, Author of World as Lover, World As Self and Pass it On: Five Stories that Can Change the World
“For 10,000 years, the mantra of our material civilization has been Compete and Consume, but the inspiration for the new paradigm is to Cooperate and Conserve. Alan Clements’ elegant, humane Reflections teach us how to cooperate in order to cherish and preserve that good and beautiful and raptured thing we call freedom. Achieving that is the key to building a future that loves and protects the biosphere within which we interdepend. This is a wonderful collection of wise and glittering things that will travel everywhere from hand to hand, and heart to heart.”Gregory David Roberts, Author of Shantaram
“At a time when the contemporary spiritual landscape has become dangerously gentrified and domesticated, Alan Clements restores us to our senses — wild and elemental. He summons the voices of those who, along side him, have not traded their souls for the market-driven need to be tame or acceptable, and points us to the wilderness of true, engaged, fiercely authentic awakening. This is why we are alive — to set freedom free, in ourselves and for others, in every aspect of our lives from the most mundane daily task, to the most profound political act.”Kelly Wendorf, Author and editor Stories of Belonging
“A Future To Believe In provides us with a standing wave of insight, a perpetually central pivot pertaining eminently to private and political spheres, inextricable, afterall. This book should be made mandatory world-wide for all heads of state.”Lissa Wolsak, Author of In Defense of Being, Squeezed Light and Pen Chants
