Gently Sitting Like A Stone is a once in a lifetime experience. The land that it inhabits is magical. The people that create this experience, from Shining Bright Lotus, Dragon Heart Dharma and All Nations Gathering Center, are heartfelt and work tirelessly to deliver the ‘goods’. You will arrive with anticipation of what’s to come and leave filled with love for the earth, animals, and fellow humans.
