Synopsis

True retreat begins long before you enter a cloistered space in time for any kind of spiritual practice. The spiritual path is a long journey. Your whole life, the sum of all your choices and perceptions, is already a spiritual path. What you bring, or perhaps most importantly, what you do not bring with you into retreat has a strong bearing on the outcome. The life preliminaries for each person are different, but there are common threads, primarily what brings you to a generous trusting openness. Robert and Rachel Olds offer portions of their journeys to encourage recognition and revaluing of the glowing threads of openness already woven through your own life. Water Drawn Before Sunrise is a portrait of two lives with the same purpose that came together, a dialogue about living with the Earth on a spiritual journey, composed of moments along their way, moments of inner radiance bursting forth, and moments in between, pushing, pulling, and prodding them to remember luminous awareness, vast and fluid.

About this title

About the Author:

Artists Robert and Rachel Olds spent nine years in spiritual retreat together in the mountains of northern California integrating Earth living and the practices of the heart essence of Dzogchen. They came to their retreat after years of spiritual inquiry through their artwork and years of letting go and simplifying their lives to connect more fully with the natural world. They share the unique perspective that their completion of the path of Togal brings to encourage recognition that this Earth, this vision we call life, is a sacred offering.
