Special Event Workshop
JATAKAS ARE US:
Embodying the Way and Being Embodied by It!
with
RAFE MARTIN
Noted Author and Storyteller
Saturday, April 9
9:30am – 12:30pm
Jataka tales are mythic sources of depth for spiritual seekers of all traditions. Take care not to mistake them as quaint tales for children only! For the Jataka tales tell us the ways of bodhisattvas, those with boundless hearts dedicated to the happiness and enlightenment of all beings.
In this workshop, finding ourselves reflected through the experience of the jataka mirror, we will take up the work of bodhisattvas, embodying these stories through our own body, speech and mind and bringing renewal to our lives, our understanding, and our spiritual practice.
You don’t want to miss Rafe Martin and this inspiring workshop, geared to energize our life relationships in all their opportunities for creative delight.
