Mindfulness: a Gateway to Transformation – A Three-Day Online Retreat to Deepen Practice
August 23 - 25, 2024
$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 awareness. It can also help us discover that no part 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. Register today to secure your spot. Limited spaces available.
