I don’t have to tell Reedies about the magic of being underwater. After all, we invented underwater basket weaving. So here’s another underwater adventure (courtesy of Tricycle magazine) that might interest Reed’s aquatically inclined. (Note: it arrived in my Inbox yesterday, but I didn’t have a chance to look at it until this morning.)
Tricycle Hosts Special Underwater Retreat
Make a big splash at the Tricycle underwater retreat with us this summer! We’re excited to announce our participation in reviving the ancient Tibetan practice of Chu retreat, in which the entirety of the retreat is spent underwater. (The practice was commonly done in the lakes of Tibet beginning in the eighth century, but it had mostly died out by the fifteenth century, when it was officially banned by the aquaphobic second Dalai Lama.) Headed by professional diver and popular Tibetan Buddhist teacher Sloof Lirpa, this is one retreat you won’t want to miss. Tickets go on sale May 7. Click here for more information.
