Teachers: Hugh Byrne, Luisa Montero-Diaz and Rebecca Hines

In this retreat, we invite ourselves to come home to the totality of our experience, opening fully to life as a wise and compassionate way of meeting these challenging times. Immersing ourselves in meditative practices to cultivate moment-to-moment awareness helps us develop inner strength, natural clarity, and compassion.

Through meditation practices, gentle movement, talks, guidance and sharing together, and nourished by the beauty of Seven Oaks and the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, we’ll explore the power of these practices to build resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Guided by these timeless teachings and held in the beauty and wisdom of nature, this retreat invites us to take refuge in our belonging to this very life.
