Much of our lives are spent searching for more, for better—for something other than who we are and the world we find ourselves in. This retreat offers time to stop, reflect, renew, and discover the art and practice of appreciation and wonder. Drawing on the teachings and wisdom of Zen, the weekend will include periods of meditation, guided reflections, short talks, and small and large group conversations. We'll explore themes of impermanence, effort and effortlessness, and the freedom that arises when we release judgment and embrace what is.
This retreat invites you to pause, breathe, and listen deeply, beyond the noise of striving and self-comparison. Finding Your Way is not about fixing or achieving, but about softening into clarity and trust in forging your own path. Rather than searching for answers “out there,” this retreat nurtures the capacity to meet our lives with curiosity, compassion, and fresh eyes.
Whether you're in a moment of transition, seeking deeper clarity, or simply longing to rest and renew, this retreat offers space to explore, heal, and grow.
No prior meditation experience is needed. Come as you are. Leave with less weight, more wonder, and a renewed connection to your own way.
