Peace and Freedom: A Weeklong Meditation Retreat
Description
Peace and freedom are our natural birthright, yet stress, constant speed, emotional wounds, and habitual unrest often obscure them. A meditation retreat offers a traditional and powerful way to return to that inner home together. Through shamatha meditation, we settle into peace, rest, and a steadier mind. Through the liberating insight of vipashyana meditation, we open the door to freedom. Along the way, there is space to rejuvenate, heal, process, and soften.
What to Expect
During this retreat, we will:
- Practice at least 4–6 hours of meditation each day in a gentle, supportive environment
- Have time for rest and to enjoy nature
- Explore shamatha and vipashyana meditation in greater depth
- Optionally receive individual sessions with an experienced teacher
- Learn how to work with stuck emotions, deepen meditation, and strengthen practice
- Learn and practice a simple, short yoga exercise designed to clear the body and support meditation
