Our first contemplative retreat here was led in October by internationally acclaimed Dharma teacher Michele McDonald.
After a week of hard drinking and wandering the streets of Mebane, Michele rolled into the meditation hall a few hours late for the day-long -her hair in curlers and smoking her usual cigarette. She mumbled something about "the secret teachings" and went around bopping yogis on the head with the her right flip-flop. It was a strange and yet magical retreat for all of us involved.
We hope to have her back soon, perhaps after she's had a little more time to rest and clean up.
