Nova Scotia Retreat -

By Eos, an email to the group, in part:

"Here's an update on "Real Life" Play as Being retreats 2010-08 Nova Scotia.

Seven guardians recently attended the "Avatars in the Forest" retreat at Windhorse Farm, Nova Scotia, Canada. I think everyone there felt the close connection between being in the forest, appreciative forest practice, and Play as Being."

I've scribed the retreat experiences just for the simple pleasure of it, the link is here:
Nova Scotia Retreat Reports - a compilation

Time Sessions - Pema Pera started writing and posting chapters of his book Exploring the Magic of Time in July 2010. The members of the time session group don’t need much time to acclimate themselves to the concepts and exercises in the chapters of the book Pema is writing. After all, many of us have been ‘playing’ together for a long time. The most powerful exploration for me personally for this month was that of “letting yourself be seen”.  The exercise for some can be disconcerting but enlightening. At any rate, this group is a new and very interesting development for Play as Being. In August, Pema wrote 02. Arising and 03. Magic, a Reality Check.

Theme Sessions - There were no theme sessions for the month of August.

Art as Being - Our pictures for the Being in/as Time project remain on display in Bieup.
