Events & Retreats

Don’t go to the tangled jungle looking for the great awakened elephant that is already resting quietly at home in front of your own hearth.
~ Lama Gendun Rinpoche
 

Periodically retreating from the noise, demands, and complexity of modern life can be quite restorative and insightful. Whether it’s for a half day, full day, or several days, retreats offer an opportunity to return to simplicity and stillness. The body and mind naturally responds to these essential conditions, nurturing deeper insights and connection to emerge. We find what’s always been there, waiting for us to pause, relax and open.
