In a world that often pulls us toward disconnection, reactivity, and fear, the cultivation of love is a radical and necessary practice. In meditation, we develop an intimate awareness of the full spectrum of experience, both pleasant and painful, within the body, heart, and mind. With loving awareness, we begin to open to the ever changing feelings, thoughts, emotions, and inner narratives that shape our lives. So much of our ordinary life is spent trying to fit ourselves into the schedules, expectations, and demands of the world around us. Over time, this can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and overwhelmed by pressure.

This retreat weaves together mindfulness meditation and heart based practices, offering a path back to presence and connection.Through sustained practice, we begin to soften habitual patterns and open to a more spacious and responsive way of being. These teachings support us in meeting both ourselves and the world with care, clarity, and balance.

The retreat will be held in noble silence, creating an environment that supports deep practice. Each day will include periods of sitting and walking meditation, along with meditation instructions, Dharma talks, mindful movement, and group interviews. This retreat is open to both beginners and experienced meditators.
