December 8 - 14, 2025
In diesem Retreat werden wir erforschen, wie wir durch die Kraft der stillen Meditation und die Praxis des Einsichtsdialogs, des tiefen Zuhörens und des Sprechens aus der Stille, in uns selbst und mit anderen präsent sein können. In der bedingungslosen Akzeptanz unserer inneren Erfahrung und in der Beziehung zu anderen öffnet sich die Tür zu Mitgefühl und befreiender Einsicht.

Der Retreattag besteht aus einer kontinuierlichen Meditationspraxis in allen…
Voices of Awakening: An Insight Dialogue RetreatDecember 28, 2025 - January 1, 2026
In this program we will explore the path to freedom and the obstacles that hinder us by contemplating the Verses of the Elder Nuns (Therīgāthā), a collection of poems from the very first Buddhist nuns.

We will be drawing from some of the more…

Yet beneath these very currents lives another possibility: to move with awareness, tenderness, and wisdom, awake to our entanglement with one another and the…
Awakening Together: A Relational Meditation RetreatFebruary 13 - 19, 2026
with Laura Bridgman Rooted in Buddhist tradition, this retreat will invite a gentle yet profound exploration of interconnection. Together, we will inquire into habits of separateness, and as insights arise, the illusion of isolation can transform into responsiveness, reciprocity, and a sense of belonging. With pausing, spaciousness and care, we will deepen presence with ourselves, one another, and the natural world. This retreat will include silent meditation, gentle movement, and relational contemplation through the practice of Insight Dialogue in pairs and small groups — offering a direct, embodied way to explore our shared human experience in the immediacy of the…
