The dharma of wisdom and compassion can be realized through a variety of gateways. Many women find this realization most accessible through the door of the Sacred Feminine. Within each woman is sacred aliveness, often veiled by judgment, fear and defenses. This retreat offers practices which unveil our natural ease, wisdom and innate value.

The Sacred Feminine intuitively senses and deeply honors the interconnection of all life. Our bodies, emotions and relationships are the vehicles for realizing the vast embrace of Prajnaparamita--Mother of all Buddhas. Relaxing in the embrace of wise and compassionate awareness, we learn to embody radiant wholeness and discover the luminous truth of who we really are.

This retreat will be held primarily in silence and will include dyads and other relational practices, walking and sitting meditation, yoga, dharma talks and opportunities to meet with a teacher. We will also offer support for the formation of ongoing communities of women practitioners.

Assistant Teachers: Dana DePalma and Dori Longevin

This retreat is open to both new and seasoned women practitioners.
