WHO THIS IS FOR
This deeply relaxing half-day meditation experience offers practical instruction for all skill-levels while kindly and gently guiding you to a more peaceful and present state of Being in your daily life…- Beginner: If you’ve never meditated before, feel intimidated by the idea, or don’t know where to start, this retreat is for you. The best place to start is at the beginning so that’s where we’ll start. And remember what Shunryu Suzuki says, “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s, there are few.” Love that!
- Dabbler: If you’ve meditated before but haven’t been able to establish a consistent practice, this retreat will definitely help you carve out time to grow a more sustainable practice where you feel more connected to your deep wisdom and truest self.
- Practiced: You have likely already built a strong meditation practice and will likely be familiar with some of the techniques I share in this retreat, but if you want to infuse your practice with new ideas, visualizations, and a soulful connection to yourself, this retreat will do just that.
