Wattle Hollow Event
Together we will explore the patterns we created a long time ago, in forming the personae/personality, and how the mind continues to reach for this template. Silent meditative witnessing, automatic writing, and yoga will be the tools that we use to expand our awareness.
Led by Joy Fox, Wattle Hollow owner, therapist, and retreat leader.
Cost: $100. And no one is ever refused attendance at a Buddhist event for lack of finances.

Anna Cox, founder and director of 'Compassion Works for All'
We are blessed again, to have this wonderful teacher, Anna Cox, come up from Little Rock, where she counsels maximum security and Death Row prisoners, among her many functions.
Anna Cox is a practicing psychotherapist in Little Rock, Arkansas. She is also a trainer, lecturer and consultant on psychotherapy, meditation, the expansion of consciousness, subtle healing, death and dying, living spiritual lives and lives of compassionate service. She offers talks and workshops that encourage individuals to conceptualize their life as a spiritual journey rather than as an ordinary life of accomplishing goals that promise worldly happiness.
A practitioner of Vajrayana Buddhism since 1980, Anna has lectured and taught classes extensively on Buddhism. Anna helped to found the Ecumenical Buddhist Society in Little Rock, which supports a variety of Buddhist traditions by bringing lineage masters from around the world to offer teachings and retreats.
Since 1993, Anna Cox has offered volunteer psychotherapy and spiritual counseling, group psychotherapy, and meditation classes with incarcerated individuals on and off death row in a maximum-security prison. She has written and published the free monthly newsletter, Dharma Friends, since 1997. Anna Cox also presents lectures frequently on the abolishment of the death penalty in Arkansas and in other states.
For over twenty years, Anna has traveled the world extensively in pilgrimage to holy sites of all religions, places of human suffering, and to places of great transformation. Anna feels deeply that ours is one human family and that no one should be excluded.
Cost: $125, includes meals and lodging. You may also offer dana (Pali word for “donation”) to Anna for the teachings.
NOTE: this retreat is now full.

This is an annual celebration of our lives. Come early and stroll around the grounds, the creek, or the Peace Path. We’ll gather at 3 p.m. and share a giant (vegetarian) potluck meal, followed by a circle of thanks. Thanks can be a poem, prayer, song, dance, dramatic presentation (I dare you to STRETCH your imagination) or even the spoken word.
