Presence: Our Only Refuge

Abiding presence is the only ground from which right action can flower in our world.

These times demand a strong Presence if we are to care as Love for the world right now. So letÕs come together in truth and love, to connect as our true nature for ourselves and our world. This brings forward wisdom and compassion. Naturally the right action follows.

During this Daylong Meditation Retreat, we sit and share together sacred space to welcome in our true nature, our silent nature, that is always here and never changes. Marlies takes you by the hand into the cathedral of your being so together we connect, taste and abide as Presence: our only refuge.

There will be periods of meditation, Dharma talk, movement, inquiry and sharing.

Marlies Myoku Cocheret brings a potent invitation into the deep silence that we are. She gathers women together to celebrate their sovereignty and the sensual, silent essence within their bodies. SheÕs been leading women on journeys of intimate connection with themselves and the feminine Divine for 25+ years and has been offering satsang and retreat since 2000 when Adyashanti asked her to teach. She lives in Tennessee and works internationally as a spiritual teacher, psychologist, Hakomi therapist, and tantric educator.

ÒMarlies is a master at offering practices that help us embody and connect to ourselves. I felt seen and met by her. Her work is deeply still and yet so enlivening. What a gift!Ó ~ B.E.
