Contentment vs. Enlightenment

A quick update that early registration is now open for Thom's upcoming annual retreat in Sedona, Arizona, this Memorial Day weekend from May 22nd to 26.

This is Thom's first retreat in the United States since the epic Maha Kumbha Mela held earlier this year in Prayagraj, India, so Thom has many fascinating new stories to share. The Sedona Rounding Retreat is also your opportunity to gift yourself profound rest and industrial-strength meditation through the daily rounding program.

This is your chance to transcend uncertainty in the ever-changing world and celebrate spring surrounded by nature, supported by community, and immersed in wisdom with Thom.  Early registration discounts expire on March 17th, and you can find out more at thomknoles.com/sedona.

Jai Guru Deva.

Thom Knoles discusses the distinction between contentment and enlightenment. To harness enlightenment, we bring our internal state of fulfillment into action. Because fulfillment seeks need, enlightenment is always on the move. Contentedness likes to stay put, happy within its own experience. For that reason, contentedness itself is not a goal.
