Mindfulness to Heartfulness
Saturday, June 3 - Saturday, June 10, 2023
There is a profound freedom from recognizing "I am not my thoughts". In today's world, an even more transformative realization can be "I am not my emotions." In meditation, we allow both thoughts and emotions come and go within a backdrop of a grounded and compassionate awareness.
During this retreat, we will cultivate this caring awareness and apply it to our daily activities in a spirit of service. As we engage in our lives, this energy of kindness and compassion radiates from within us to our friends and family, communities, and even the world at large.
Join us for a week-long retreat that combines contemplative stillness with mindful movement in a peaceful monastic setting. It will be a time to recharge, reflect, and renew your inner spirit while serving others with heartfulness.
Spaces are limited. Please sign up early.
Application process: Please fill out the application. Space-permitting, we will follow up with an interview via phone, Zoom, or in person. If you are not admitted to the retreat, your full payment will be refunded. Given the length of the form, you may find it helpful to work on your answers in a separate document and then paste them in.
