Here's the deets on the retreat - AND, it happens immediately after Oregon County Fair which I've always heard is a blast (cross between Rainbow Gathering and Burning Man). I'd actually like to do both - party then sit! Have a good car but would like company . . .

The Radical Path of Awakening
Non-silent meditation workshop
With Noah Levine & Vinny Ferraro
Breitenbush Hotsprings, Oregon
The Buddha referred to his Awakening as having been “Against the Stream”. The spiritual path is one of revolutionary acts of non-violent rebellion against greed, hatred and delusion. In this meditation workshop, Noah and Vinny will speak about both positive and negative forms of subversion of the dominant paradigm and elucidate the Buddhist path of wisdom and compassion that lead to Freedom.
This weeklong workshop is a great introduction to Buddhist practices or a perfect way to integrate the practice you are already committed to. Our schedule allows for relaxation, enjoying the hot springs, community building and social interaction. Register early as it may fill up.

He was trained to teach by Jack Kornfield, and leads meditation classes, workshops and retreats all over the U.S. He also leads groups in juvenile halls and prisons.
