In these challenging times, many of us yearn for something more profound—a way to fully open our hearts to this sacred life.

Devotion is a pathway of the heart that invites us to bring loving awareness to everything we do. It’s not about following rules or performing rituals perfectly; rather, it’s about discovering the natural reverence that flows when we touch life with our whole being. Whether we’re in silence, sharing our truth with a friend, or simply pausing to breathe mindfully during a busy day, devotion awakens us to the precious nature of each moment. 

This retreat is an invitation to explore how we can live with our hearts wide open, letting love and wisdom guide our way through life’s joys and challenges.

The Three Jewels – the Buddha’s awakened heart, the precious teachings of the Dharma, and the loving embrace of spiritual community – offer us a sanctuary of profound support for this journey of devotion. When we open ourselves to these three treasures, we discover an inexhaustible source of refuge that nurtures our practice and illuminates our path. Through gentle meditation, heart-opening teachings, shared reflection, and the power of practicing together, we’ll explore how this timeless wisdom tradition can light up our lives today. As we learn to rest in the refuge of these three jewels, we naturally discover the deep peace and joy that come from living in harmony with our heart’s truest knowing. Join us as we explore this sacred path of devotion together, finding our way home to what matters most.

We encourage you to bring any comfort and support items. The location has meditation cushions, chairs, and a limited amount of blankets. If you would like to lie down during some of the practices, bring a yoga mat, an extra blanket, and any other items that help you feel comfortable.

Suggested donation: $85
