Meditation Retreat in Albuquerque

Autumn was in full color for the meditation retreat at the Madonna Center Oct. 17-19 in Albuquerque. Carmen Brocklehurst, a life-long meditator, led the retreat in the style of Justin Stone, “the ordinary man,” as he calls himself. The traditional day of silence on Saturday fell by the wayside as Justin’s afternoon presence made silence impossible. Ah, yes, meditation waits for you. After enlightenment, you come back and live the ordinary life. May we enjoy our ordinary, enlightened lives together like this!
