Fresh Start: A meditation retreat - SPECIAL PRICING

For this special retreat, we are offering a sliding scale to allow you to give what you can. We hope you can join us!

If you are looking to start or cultivate your meditation practice, join our Resident Teacher George Wiegand for a special weekend of mindfulness practices.

We might say weʻre too busy to meditate. We canʻt find the time. Or we just donʻt have the right space, the quiet, or the privacy. George will show you different ways to practice even when you think you donʻt have the time or the ideal space for meditation.

Drawing from excerpts of Gesture of Balance by Tarthang Tulku, we will learn about the natural state of mind and how we can find meditation in any moment of our life.

This retreat includes:

Meditation
Dharma Talks + Discussion
Nature Walk
Movement + Relaxation
