Being Human Takes Practicemeditation retreat

Being Human Takes Practice

Jeff Warren, coauthor of Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics, leads this three-day retreat into what meditation reveals about the nature of being human. The program explores resistance, overthinking, emotional flexibility, and how we relate to ourselves and others. Rather than prescribing a single approach, Warren guides a range of practices designed to help each participant discover what resonates with their nervous system and temperament. The retreat welcomes all experience levels, including those skeptical of meditation's claims. Through sitting practice, group discussion, and time in the natural landscape, participants learn that meditation has infinite expressions. What unfolds on the cushion mirrors the texture of human experience itself, and over three days, the simple skills of concentration, clarity, equanimity, and compassion reveal themselves as foundational to emotional and spiritual well-being.

Introduction to Dark Retreatmeditation retreat

Introduction to Dark Retreat

This five-day workshop explores the integration of meditation practice with the natural rhythms of light and darkness. Guided by Lama Justin von Bujdoss, participants work with teachings from the 14th-century Dzokchen master Longchenpa, discovering how daylight and nighttime darkness can deepen contemplative insight. Rather than retreating into total darkness, the program unfolds in a lit environment while engaging directly with darkness as a tool for practice. By aligning meditation to the cycle of day and night, practitioners cultivate both creativity and confidence in their ongoing relationship with the dharma. The workshop addresses intermediate and experienced meditators with prior familiarity in Dzokchen practice.

Getting Out of Your Own Way: A Path to Presence

A weeklong meditation retreat led by Karen Kissel Wegela that addresses internal obstacles to deepening one's capacity for presence and compassion. Participants explore emotional strengths and challenges through meditations, dyadic conversations, and small-group practices grounded in Buddhist teachings and contemplative psychotherapy. The retreat cultivates mindfulness, courage, and self-kindness, with particular attention to developing the skills needed to support both oneself and others with genuine listening, empathy, and grounded presence. An established community returns each summer and welcomes newcomers into its warm, caring environment. The week balances formal instruction with space for reflection and integration.

The Realization Process: A Method of Embodied Healing & Awakeningmeditation retreat

The Realization Process: A Method of Embodied Healing & Awakening

The Realization Process is a method of embodied psychological and relational healing developed by Judith Blackstone. Under the guidance of senior teacher Theresa Scott, participants explore how mindful embodiment can open pathways to both psychological healing and nondual spiritual awakening. The practice integrates meditation, attentive movement, relational attunement, and trauma-release work known as Healing Ground. Rather than pursuing abstract states of consciousness, the method roots awakening in the body's lived experience, cultivating release of chronic patterns while expanding capacity for understanding, love, and connection with other beings. The workshop provides a contained, safe environment for this integrated work, though it is not recommended for those currently in acute crisis or working with severe trauma.

From Doing to Being: Effortless Meditation and the Lost Art of Doing Lessmeditation retreat

From Doing to Being: Effortless Meditation and the Lost Art of Doing Less

This weekend retreat examines the cultural habit of constant doing and offers a practical path back to ease. Cortland Dahl and Kasumi Kato draw on modern neuroscience and ancient Tibetan teachings to explore effortless meditation, the foundational awareness that exists beneath the noise of daily life. Rather than adding another technique to your practice, participants learn how to release the subtle striving that keeps attention contracted. The workshop weaves together guided meditation, contemporary neuroscience, and classical wisdom traditions to show how the shift from doing to being nourishes both body and mind, opens creative capacity, and reveals an inner reservoir of calm. Practical elements include rituals for slowing down, mindful conversation, methods for finding rest during stress, and ways to sustain this quality of presence in ordinary life. The retreat welcomes both seasoned practitioners and those new to meditation.

Listening to Our Ancestorsmeditation retreat

Listening to Our Ancestors

This five-day immersion explores ancestral wisdom through qigong and meditation, drawing on Buddhist and Daoist teachings that recognize nature as part of our lineage. Participants learn to listen and attune to guidance from both the natural world and ancestral lines through movement, breath, and contemplative practice. The workshop invites an examination of how ancestral knowledge lives within the body and can be accessed as a source of healing and resilience. Over the course of the week, participants develop a deepened relationship to self, community, and the living world, cultivating practices that support inner resources and a sense of belonging within the greater continuum of life.
