Join teaching team Beth Sternlieb, Allyson Pimentel and Eric McCullum for a day of practice and embodied community.  By drawing on the energy and support of the group we can deepen our own practice and move toward our collective awakening.  Our time together will include guided meditation, silent meditation, walking meditation in nature, and opportunities to connect as a community of meditators.  By attending this retreat you will have an opportunity to grow and evolve your practice with seasoned teachers who have many years of experience in cultivating awakening in a safe and supportive container. We hope you will join us for this day of shared resonance as we move toward awakening together.  

Notes for the day: 

  • Please bring comfortable shoes for walking and layered clothing for temperature variations. 
  • Please bring a lunch, snacks, and water bottle
  • We ask that phones and technology are turned off during the retreat, in order to unplug and connect. 

In keeping with the principals of the dharma that underlies all of our activities, primarily precepts of non-harming, we are requiring that all attendees be fully vaccinated in order to attend any in-person event. If you certify that you meet this requirement please select ‘yes’ on the registration page. We ask that out of respect and care for our immunocompromised friends, we all commit to masking indoors.
