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

This Is It Retreat
These simple words have awesome power. They can stir excitement or sorrow, pointing to both beginnings and endings, welcomed or dreaded. In this workshop we will explore central teachings from the yogic tradition that compel us to devote our actions wholeheartedly to what is present Now, reminding us that being attached to the outcome is fraught with suffering. Join us for a half-day of meditation, asana, sharing and reflection, as we investigate how this simple truth—that “This is it” –resonates through us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

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.
