June 12, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

  • Friday June 12th – 7-8:30pm : Three Years of Silence – An evening of stories, ideas, and relevant wisdom from three years of meditation and solitude
  • Saturday June 13th – 9:30 – 12pm: Coming Home – A Discussion on Why and How to Live a Deep-Hearted Life

Will Duncan, internationally recognized teacher of meditation and scripture from many traditions, will be at St. Michael’s to share insights from his recent three-year, silent retreat in Arizona and to speak about the importance of living a deep-hearted life. Duncan, who grew up actively involved in the Episcopal Church, studied for many years with Reverend Murray Rogers, an Anglican priest who lived in India and devoted his ministry to working with Christians and Hindus, and he continues to seek spiritual wisdom in the Christian, Hindu and Buddhist traditions. He teaches meditation, yoga and scripture around the world, bringing down-to-earth sincerity, humor and joy to his classes. Duncan teaches around the world.   You can check out his website at www.willduncan.org.

Will writes: With meditation I teach systematic stillness practices to a wide variety of populations from people suffering with extreme addictions to business executives to busy moms… In the world of yoga I focus on helping people access joy in their practice and feel gratitude for, with, and in their bodies. After a three year solitary yoga and meditation retreat I began to experience yoga as a kind of moving celebratory prayer and I attempt to share that with others…My interest in scripture is in combining the brilliance of western psychology with the profundity of ancient wisdom. I seek to make the wisdom traditions applicable to real people in a world of addiction, heartbreak, and stress.

Join us and invite your friends for two days of insightful, humorous and deep discussions of how and why to live a deep-hearted life.
