Work & Rest Weekend at Geryunant

July 16 -18, 2010

If you have ever been a guest here at Geryunant and have left hand-in-hand with a part of yourself you thought was missing, didn’t realize you had, or assumed was your enemy, come nurture the space where such wondrous unions happen. Bring the family!!!

While we plan to give tender loving care to the grounds and buildings, by nailing loose boards, weeding crowded flower beds, stacking wood and washing windows, there will also be time to sit and chat by the brook, grab a Focusing partner and go deep, or relax and stretch by the campfire. If your muscles grow weary, let them revive in the sauna. Or take a brisk dip in the gorge or Jelly Pond! Be our guest at a cook out Friday and Saturday nights. Bring snacks and goodies to share for lunches and breakfast.

Try out one of the new huts, the Hexagon, the Cord Wood, or—with it’s windowed roof and all-night view of the stars—the Meditation Hut. If you prefer, bed down at either the house on the hill, “Everywhere”, or the house in the valley, “Nowhere”. There is also plenty of room for tenting. If you live locally drop in and out over the weekend as you like. If you’re from out of town, come Friday afternoon. Get settled and sign up for projects, then relax by the campfire. Work and play through Sunday afternoon. After a closing circle, head home and plan to return soon to take advantage of any of the programs offered here at Geryunant.
