This day-long retreat is a special time that involves in-person programming. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we will follow whatever state guidelines are mandated at the time of the retreat.

This retreat offers an opportunity to discover and deepen concentration, wisdom and compassion. Instruction will be based primarily on the education and wisdom of the instructors and rooted in mindfulness and science. The retreat will involve meditation instruction, movement instruction, as well as nutritional and holistic workshops. You do not need to have any experience or knowledge of these practices in order to participate.

Long periods of silence and quiet conversation will be the norm on this retreat. It can be a transforming experience and therefore, we request that all participants 1) arrive on time, 2) participate in the entire course without leaving early and 3) leave their phones, watches and all other electronics in their cars or at home for the duration of the retreat. To protect our retreat time, we ask participants to refrain from phone calls, emails, texts, and other internet use.
