Aging, Dying, & Awakening
Open to all ages. No prerequisite.
Spaces Still Available! In this retreat, we’ll explore aging and dying from the Buddhist perspective of meditative practice and awakening. Together, we'll examine aging and death in our conventional lives and see what happens as we normalize these processes as part of the great letting go. How might this “letting go” reveal the awakened heart? This retreat will include meditation instructions, Dharma talks, meetings with teachers, and a daily period of contemplative inquiry during which we will investigate our own relationship to death. Otherwise, this retreat is silent outside of the mentioned above periods.

Spiritual Sanctuary: A Women's Liberation Retreat
Open to all self-identified Women. We welcome all who identify as women, as well as non-binary folks who feel nourished in spaces centering women.
A Few Spaces Still Available! We live in times of increasing pressure, which can be experienced as intensity, stress, limitation, or dissatisfaction. The Four Noble Truths remind us that pressure is an unavoidable part of life, and that freedom is possible within it. This retreat offers a space in which practitioners can choose rest, renewal, and liberation. Together we will practice in silence, integrating movement and stillness, outdoor practice, and Dharma talks that lift up women’s journeys of awakening from a diversity of lineages and traditions.

What the Buddha Taught: Insight Meditation for Resilience and Peace
A Few Spaces Still Available! The Buddha taught a path of liberation that continues to bring resilience, insight, and peace to practitioners today. Our practice of retreat brings the teachings alive, as we cultivate mindfulness, lovingkindness, and investigation of the causes of suffering throughout all the activities of the day, learning to meet everything that arises with wakefulness and intimacy. This retreat is great for beginners as well as more experienced practitioners looking for a refresh on the foundations of Insight practice.
