Djuna Devereaux and Yong Oh

There’s so much to do. There’s never enough time.

Yet, the demands of life only seem to grow, personally and collectively, making it difficult to discern what is ours to do—especially when we’re so accustomed to figuring it all out in our heads. Is there permission to pause and attend to our weary bodies and distressed nervous systems? How can caring for and listening to the body offer refuge and resilience, ultimately guiding us toward wise response? 

This daylong retreat explores these questions, integrating Dharma teachings, meditation, somatic movement and yoga asana. Our movement practices will begin with floor-based unwinding to release tension and fatigue, then flow into accessible yoga. Drawing from the Sona Sutta, we’ll explore how attuning to the body lies at the heart of Buddhist Dharma and offers something both essential and radical for our times. 

All abilities and levels of experience are welcome.
