Retreats 2022-2023
The wave, the foam, the eddy, and the bubble are all essentially water. Similarly, the body and ego are really nothing but pure awareness. ~ Shankara

Yoga as Gratitude Retreat
Twelfth-century mystic Meister Eckhart put it this way: “If the only prayer you ever said was thank you, that would be enough.” While gratitude may flow naturally in times of ease and joy, being thankful can feel elusive when things are hard. When there is so much struggle and suffering in the world, how can this prayer be enough? This is the medicine of yoga. The yogic path is a return to the recognition of wholeness—a receptivity to all of life as she unfolds herself. As a practice that illuminates union, yoga invites us to have reverence for the full experience of life. Join us for a day of movement, meditation and community as we explore the healing prayer of gratitude. This retreat is only open to graduates of our trainings.

Ride Every Wave Into The Heart of Presence
During this virtual meditation retreat we will explore “direct path” yoga practices that can reveal the immediate experience of our most intimate and joyful true nature. We will explore ways to awaken to this experience while in seated meditation, in movement, in satsang (“sharing the truth”), and other activities. This retreat will also launch (and is required for) the year long Know Thyself in Meditation Teacher Training.
