One Day Retreat: Being Peace During the Holidays

We have always looked to the Holiday Season to give us a break from the difficulties and challenges of everyday life, and to find peace and relaxation with family and loved ones. But 2025 has been a difficult year for many, with challenging changes in our economy, the jobs market, and inflation. ..not to mention the overhang of climate change and AI. And on top of this, our divisive and reactionary culture has caused rifts in many long-standing interpersonal relationships and brought an increasing level of tension and stress to everyday activities.

This retreat is an invitation for you to give yourself and your loved ones a profound gift: Press pause and take a break for a few hours. Sit still and in silence, let your mind slow down, and reregulate your body. The dharma talk will be focused on keeping peace in your heart and patience in your mind so that you can return to the home recharged, grounded, and better able to be present for your own health and that of loved ones around you.
