One Wisdom Zen
Presents
Pristine Awareness and the Dance of Light
With Emyo Darlene Tataryn, Ekai Joel Kreisberg & Hakue Wendy Buffett
About This Retreat
This teaching and practice retreat will outline the process of concretization; that is the construction of reality from primordial ground to the natural world around us, including our own body and mental and emotional formations. Our understanding of various spiritual traditions within Buddhism can expand as we begin to recognize the triad of pristine awareness, the presence within this awareness, the moving mind and the energies that construct our karmic reality.
Energy is carried by an image, and so we consider, what image or form? A physical body? A photograph? What about a thought and even a spoken word? All of these are elemental bodies of various densities and constructs of earth, water, air, fire, and space. The deep archetypal images of the Buddha Families are energies and are represented by colors and elements and emotional valence.
You are invited to take this opportunity to contemplate this dynamic representation of our world and the energies that move us.
The focus on this retreat is on:
Pristine Awareness
The Elemental Rainbow and Karmic Formation
The Three Bodies and Spiritual Traditions

About Emyo Darlene Tataryn:
A pioneer, Darlene has been doing the work since the early 70's. Her depth insight comes from working deeply with somatic healing, dance therapy, developmental and expressive movement, meditation, and other "mystic" practices. She is the creator of the Asaya Process and Maitreya's Chair; two practices which open this breathing body into receptivity, release tension, realign the spine, and bring the body into natural, blissfully calming, self-healing cycles.
As a long time Meditation instructor and Counselor with an Expressive Therapy Bias, Darlene understands and is able to navigate between the disciplines of therapy and meditation. She is steeped in the understanding of the interconnection and interdependence of all of nature. As a Zen Priest and Mondo Zen facilitator, she is able to guide and orient healthy ego function to the service of clarity and depth of heart and mind.
Darlene's history included the Rinzai Zen Hollow Bones Lineage, The Karma Kagyu Lineage, and Sahaja Marg.
