Yong Oh and Djuna Devereaux

Devotion begins as attention and deepens through love. Devotion is expressed in the body, heart and mind as our most intimate longing to awaken. Within the refuge of an integrated experience of Dharma, our retreat will tend to this longing through insight meditation, mindful movement, and devotional practice.

Our time together will include chanting and bowing practices drawn from the Kuan Yin Dharmas—devotional practices that invite us to listen into the compassionate heart—as well as classical Pali chants from the early Buddhist tradition. Our movement sessions will combine gentle somatic movements with accessible yoga to both unwind and embody the Dharma.Weather permitting, we intend to offer meditation and group practices outside on the land at Big Bear, receiving teachings from nature—our primary relationship and teacher.  

All abilities and levels of experience are welcome.
