Sacred Space, the John Sellon Labor Day Weekend Program

Sacred Space

Sacred Space first evokes visages of temples, mosques, cathedrals etc whose impressive designs create- both externally and internally- a real sense of divine presence. Likewise, Nature herself has created her own sanctuaries in still grottos, groves, waterfall gorges, intimately embracing hollows found everywhere in the world. In all such places, 'space' is highly defined by the structures -natural or manmade- which enclose and shape it. When great artisans model and mold with religious genius we cannot help experience an iineffable sacredness.

But what about space itself without materials or forces to define it? Is space primarily a void and vacuum 'devoid' of all substance? Or is space as experienced by mystics and sages, a potent plenum and fullness, replete with a life living creative existence. It ha been envisioned as a womb and matrix filled with universal spirit, geometries and emanative purpose.

Together we shall explore space as so uniquely defined by Pumpkin Hollow. Many are its natural chapels and sanctuaries in which we shall seek fresh insight- one on one. First we shall examine the concepts and visions of metaphysics, mystics and modern science. Next, we will explore space sculpted by Nature; next our own inner space of body and mind; then comes the ineffable space that permeates everything!

Note: Anyone wishing to stay over for the Labor Day monday/holiday is welcome There will be an additional room and board fee only.
