Description

The Awakening the Heart Retreat is a three-day spiritual retreat in Philomath, Oregon, hosted by I am InLight. It is made for practitioners who are ready to immerse more fully in living from an expansive heart, through meditation, yoga, breathwork and guided heart-centered teachings.

The retreat rests on a simple idea: as we lovingly accept our journeys, our hurts and our perceived flaws, we come closer to the truth of our being. Rather than staying abstract, the weekend teaches practical skills for moving through daily life with ease, contentment and joy.

What to Expect

The weekend is built around eight guided immersions, with yoga, meditation and unhurried meals between them. The themes are forgiveness, receiving, gratitude, generosity, heart-mind alignment, loving-kindness and presence.

Friday begins with arrival, registration and settling in from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. The opening immersion runs from 10:00 AM to noon, followed by a long lunch and free time. An afternoon immersion from 2:30 to 4:00 PM leads into gentle yoga, dinner and an evening immersion from 7:00 to 8:00 PM.

Saturday starts with tea, coffee and fruit, then meditation and gentle yoga from 8:00 to 9:00 AM. After breakfast there is a morning immersion, a midday break, and an afternoon immersion. Restorative yoga from 4:15 to 5:15 PM eases into dinner and a final evening session.

Sunday opens with meditation and yoga nidra, followed by breakfast and a morning immersion. After lunch comes a last immersion from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, and the retreat closes with a gathering and departure between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. Breathwork is part of the program as well.

The rhythm is steady and spacious. Longer breaks at midday and in the evening leave room to rest and let each session settle.

Before You Go

This retreat is described as suited to practitioners who want to go deeper into heart-centered practice. No formal prerequisites or required level of prior experience are given, so anyone drawn to this kind of work may wish to consider whether the pace and focus feel right for them.

The registration fee covers all meals, lodging, classes, yoga, meditation, breathwork and activities. Meals include breakfast, lunch and dinner, with tea, coffee and fruit early each morning on Saturday and Sunday.

The retreat closes with a line from Eckhart Tolle that captures its spirit: love is a state of being, found deep within you, and it cannot leave you.
