As the year comes to a close, take time to rest your mind and open your heart in a supportive community of practice.

This retreat is based on the traditional Tibetan Lojong teachings—timeless instructions for awakening our hearts and meeting life with compassion. These simple yet profound practices can help us work skillfully with difficult moments and transform how we relate to ourselves and others. They gently shift our perspective, showing us how to engage with the world's challenges and suffering with openness, clarity, and care—right on the spot.

Join for a single day or for the entire 4-day retreat. Plan to attend the whole day(s) for which you register.
