The Way We Live

 
    The way we live at Mayflower Camp is very simple. This is part of what enables a quality of presence to arise in our experience that is seldom shared in the world at large.

    Mayflower Camps are a journey where we forget to be so much that is not our selves, simply from being drawn into a more present and participative experience of what Is.

    Time at camps can often become timeless or rather a flowing now-ness that is full and does not have to get to somewhere else.

    Life is.

    Life is so much Bigger than we could possibly imagine and yet can be so exquisite and wondrous in personal significance to each of us. Life's expression as our own experience can prove this if we let it.

    For a million reasons and for no good reason, we tend to lose our selves in the world. Becoming entangled in attempts to fit into who we 'should be' according to idea or expectation of what we should be - (including our own best thinking). Shutting down our aliveness because it feels too scary to let it out or just too scary to feel. Whatever facade is built and maintained to offset our loss, this is unhappy!

 

 
    Because waking up can involve scary or uncomfortable moments, we need a gentle but firm process over time in which we can gain confidence and courage in life and in ourselves to live from our own aliveness.

    This is what the world needs most for without love's presence shared does the world become unlovely.

    Mayflower Camps invite and serve such a culture among us, without asking for more, (or less), than a willingness to act from a faith in your own and each other's inherent worth.
