True Nature
On one’s own, the contemplative’s path can feel confusing. In the company of others drawn in the same direction, it clarifies. True Nature offers a trusted place to look closely at things as they really are . . . together.
The True Nature community meets once a month for 90 minutes. Practitioners from around the world gather on Zoom. Beginning with a sit, we move on to check-in and discussion – sometimes around a short writing Marcy sends beforehand, sometimes around what’s alive in the room. We close with more formal practice. Even online, surprising depth emerges.
True Nature keeps us connected when we can’t be together in person. It’s a quiet, reliable way to keep practice genuine. If the online circle isn’t for you but you wish to support this work, becoming a sustaining benefactor through a True Nature membership helps underwrite the center and the services it provides.
