When We Participate in
A Zen Peacemaker Bearing Witness Retreat,

We Participate in a Peacemaking Process

To Bear Witness is to have a strong glimpse into the truth that the life of the other is actually our own life itself, that we are, indeed, one body.

Our Bearing Witness retreats take place in places where deep human trauma occurred and where healing is endlessly needed. With our retreats we intend to contribute to this healing.

To do this we rely on the Three Tenets of the Zen Peacemakers. All aspects of the retreat are founded on these Three Tenets:

NOT-KNOWING

letting go of fixed ideas about ourselves, others, and the universe.

BEARING WITNESS

to both the joy and the suffering of the world.

TAKING ACTION

that arises from Not-Knowing and Bearing Witness.

These will be our anchors to which we will return throughout each day of the retreat. They are a powerful way to live one’s life and respond to the needs of the world.

While a Bearing Witness Retreat cannot precisely be a Zen Sesshin, we do create a container of intention and awareness we all share the responsibility to maintain. Moving as one, sharing meals, adhering to the schedule, and attending all activities are part of this. Everyone is asked to maintain presence and attention throughout the retreat as each setting allows.

Often, we experience strong emotions and reactions in these places of profound human trauma. Our retreat is designed to support us, with Council practice, meditation periods, prayer sessions, and the presence of senior Spirit Holders who are available to you if you need them. All of us should remain vigilant about how our fellow participants are doing. These reactions can be transformative, and we want to protect the space to fully experience them.

Please prepare to arrive with this spirit in heart and mind.

ETHICAL GUIDELINES

Bearing witness retreats often take us to places of deep suffering and even trauma. Participants are encouraged to bear witness not just to certain external and historical events, but also to personal issues of vulnerability and darkness. While the entire staff, including spirit holders, council facilitators, religious leaders and coordinators, tries to create a retreat environment that serves these goals, it is the responsibility of all of us, staff and participants alike, to maintain this environment for the sake of all participants. For this reason I agree to uphold this Code of Ethical Conduct, which is based on principles of trust, integrity, justice, respect and accountability, in order to nurture this bearing witness retreat.

I understand that this retreat provides an opportunity to practice the Three Tenets of the Zen Peacemakers: (1) Not Knowing, (2) Bearing Witness, and (3) Taking Action from Not Knowing and Bearing Witness.

>> Accountability. Maintaining the well-being of the retreat is the mutual responsibility of all participants. I agree to consciously cultivate a space where all voices and opinions are heard, the diversity of individual experiences is affirmed and encouraged, and where all participants feel safe in sharing personal shortcomings and concerns. Clear communication supports taking responsibility for both oneself and the retreat, and is thus an act of service to all participants.

>> Transparency. Transparency is crucial to maintaining balance and harmony. I will speak out on matters that, if left unaddressed, may foster doubt, suspicion or resentment.
Self-Awareness. Knowing that this retreat may be arduous to both mind and body, I will take responsibility for monitoring and caring for myself.

>> Right Speech. Mutual respect manifests when we treat each other with dignity and engage with everyone truthfully and compassionately. Harmony is promoted when I observe right speech: refraining from lies, self-serving talk, slander, or apportioning blame. It also includes proactively and skillfully speaking out in a manner that respects all persons involved. Recognizing the potency of anger, I will practice self-awareness and endeavor to express myself openly and generously, without blame or rejection.

>> Confidentiality. I understand that the retreat includes processes and procedures that may involve the sharing of sensitive personal information, and that this information should be held in confidence as much as possible. This caution particularly applies to staff members. On those occasions when, for the well being of specific individuals, staff members need to consult with each other, such consultations will be maintained in confidence.
Boundaries. I am responsible for clarifying, maintaining and communicating appropriate and clear boundaries with other participants.

>> Sexual Conduct. I acknowledge that sexuality is a highly vulnerable part of human experience, and even more so in retreats that challenge our bodies, minds and hearts. For this reason I will not form a new sexual relationship during the retreat with other retreat participants.

>> Use of Intoxicants. I understand that clarity of mind is a fundamental component of the practice of the three tenets. The use of non-medically prescribed intoxicants during retreats is acceptable only when prescribed by the retreat staff.

>> Practices Outside the Scope of the Retreat. All activities should support the purpose of this retreat as declared in the advertised description. No staff member or leader can give teachings or practices that lie outside its purview. Any doubts or questions about this should be taken to the spirit holders for resolution.

Mitakuye Oyasin – كل علاقاتي – هو تفاهم أساسي في لاكوتا ، ويشرف Zen Peacemakers بمواصلة تعميق علاقتنا مع قبائل لاكوتا والقبائل الأصلية الأخرى في بلاك هيلز. على الرغم من أن البرامج الرسمية بدأت مؤخرًا ، إلا أنها ثمرة علاقة استمرت 18 عامًا بين أفراد لاكوتا وأعضاء Zen Peacemaker.

منذ عام 2015 ، نفذت شركة Zen Peacemakers برامج سنويًا بالتعاون مع مجتمع الأمريكيين الأصليين في ساوث داكوتا. تختلف هذه البرامج كل عام ، وفقًا لاحتياجات مضيفينا والمشاركين لدينا: لقد ظهرت على أنها منتجع Black Hills Bearing Witness الرئيسي الذي يضم 180 مشاركًا في عام 2015 ، وهو برنامج Plunge الذي قاده الأعضاء الحميمون في عام 2016 في Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Reservation (CRST) ، والبرامج المزدوجة في عام 2017 من أسبوع الخدمة في CRST و Bearing Witness Plunge في مونتانا ووايومنغ وساوث داكوتا.

يعتمد كل عام متتالي على العلاقات التي نطورها مع مضيفينا. وقد واصل المشاركون في برنامجنا علاقاتهم بشكل فردي من خلال الاتصالات والإجراءات ، مثل حملة الملابس على مستوى الدولة ، والتعاون في مجال العدالة الاجتماعية ، ووجودهم في معسكر Standing Rock في شتاء 2016 ، وهو معتكف بقيادة الأعضاء Bearing Witness في مينيسوتا ، المبنى بيت ساخن على مدار العام في باين ريدج ، وأشكال أخرى كثيرة. يتم سرد بعض هذه القصص في جريدتنا على الإنترنت.

سيظهر لنا أصدقاؤنا في لاكوتا ، باحتياطياتهم العميقة من التواضع والإيمان والقدرة على التحمل. سنلتقي بهم بإصغاء عميق واحترام وعزم على زرع بذور جديدة من الرعاية والثقة والرفاهية لجميع علاقاتنا.

سيتم تنفيذ هذا البرنامج من قبل فريق القيادة وبروح المبادئ الثلاثة لصانعي السلام من Zen. في حين أن هناك هيكلًا وإطارًا محددًا ييسرهما القادة ، يرجى الانتباه إلى أن جدول الأعمال قد يتغير في أي وقت لأننا نشهد على ما ينشأ من لحظة إلى أخرى ، ومن يوم لآخر. المرونة ضرورية.

سيتم الحفاظ على نوايا وروح هذا البرنامج بعناية ومهارة من قبل ميسري البرنامج. يرجى الانتباه لتعليماتهم.
