We create spaces that invite you to slow down enough to become present to your inner voice and to listen for what is most meaningful to you. Life moves at a pace too fast to stop, breathe and be. We need intentional space in which to listen to ourselves.
When we listen deeply, and share what we hear with others, something new emerges. We create something different from the sum of our parts - something transformative.
The center of our shared understanding becomes the point of leverage from which we take meaningful action. We rely on our inner resources and the support of community.

"This was truly one of the most meaningful and beneficial retreats I've been on. I was so impressed by the immense thoughtfulness and obvious intention behind every detail of this retreat. Even the time management was flawless, with one activity building on the next in a non-obvious way, but important as far as the flow of depth and play and lightness. You are special people that truly make this world a better and more beautiful place. I am grateful to have shared this time with you and appreciate so much all the time and care you took to make it truly wonderful!"

"With the giving nature of teachers, I found this retreat was just what I needed. With the stress level of teachers on the rise, mindfulness practice will help them find peace. I would recommend this retreat whole-heartedly, and there is also scientific data that show it works."
