How do we stay rooted like a mighty oak, even when winds howl through our branches? How can our hearts hold our ever-changing lives like the sky holds the weather? In this retreat, we’ll offer teachings and practices from the Dharma and Yoga traditions for settling your nervous system, grounding your energy, and cultivating a felt sense of both stability and fluidity. Meditation in movement and stillness unfolds with ample time to rest, be in nature, and honor the natural rhythms of your own practice.

A full week of retreat offers time and space for deep places of gripping and bracing to release at their own pace, while nourishing the capacity to meet personal and collective challenges with wisdom and compassion. Each day includes gentle guided Yoga and somatic movement meditation; seated, walking, standing, and lying down meditation; Dharma reflections; and small group meetings with a teacher.

This retreat is silent except for teacher-led Q&A, small groups, or other practice meetings.
