Silent Retreat
"Gratitude Begins with You"
Nov. 17 -19
This weekend retreat is intentionally limitted to a small group of 4-5 people to have the intended effect of deep rejuvenation and nurturance of gratitude as we approach holidays and the coming winter. You're invited to settle into the quiet together, working through the challenges and receiving the benefits of our shared practice as we prepare for the holidays by connecting to what is most essential.
The retreat includes multiple periods in group meditation (both sitting and walking), yoga classes, Breema: The Art of Being Present and individual Breema treatments too. Some classes will be held outside weather-permitting, and free time is included to enjoy nature. Dave and Alana Pratt will lead the retreat and ask that you please read all of the details below if you are interested in attending. The itinerary is also posted at the bottom of this page.
