Finding Your Center: A New Years Retreat

February 7 - 9, 2025
$495 USD

The New Year can be a time of reflection and intention. In order to look more deeply into our intentions and actions we must start by understanding how to still the mind and body enough to become aware of our habits and patterns. This three-day online retreat will offer the grounding practices of the four elements, which remind us of the interdependent and interconnected nature of ourselves and the world around us. Connecting with nature can provide us with a sense of refuge and stability. With that base we will take the time to care for ourselves through the exploration of the different heart qualities: loving kindness, compassion, equanimity and joy.

Mindfulness: A Gateway to Transformation, A Three-Day Retreat to Deepen Practice

August 22 - 24
$495 USD

Meditation practice can help us understand the different habits and patterns of the mind, both the beautiful and the challenging. Spending time on retreat gives us the time to stay with our direct experience which can illuminate so much of what happens in the experience of the mind and body. This can support us in learning how to skillfully navigate what arises moment by moment. In this way meditation practice can become a gateway to a deeper understanding and greater levels of awareness. It can also help us discover that no part of ourselves needs to be left out, even the places we get stuck or challenged. Through meditation practice we may come to rediscover our intrinsic wholeness. We hope you will join us on this weekend of discovery and practice.
