Event will be recorded and emailed to participants after each meeting.

You’re welcome to join even if you can’t attend all the live sessions.

During these gift-giving holidays, reflecting on the gift that each of us is to ourselves, others,

and to the world is important. Allowing and honoring this very human expression of our divine

essence is an important aspect of realizing our true nature.

Join us for a psycho-spiritual retreat balancing both a spiritual focus on our pure essence and a

psycho-somatic exploration, and releasing, of what has been obstructing its fullest expression

through our unique human form. We will be focusing on:

  • Deepening our recognition of our true nature through guided meditations and satsang
  • Recognizing, contemplating, and celebrating the unique gift that you are to our world
  • Somatic practices to help you regulate the nervous system and build resilience
  • Psychotherapeutic processes for resolving our blocks to our full expression
  • Sharing and dialogue in the group and in dyads.
  • Practices that will be offered to do between meetings on retreat days.

We will also reflect on this past year, 2020, that was full of unprecedented changes, and

clarify our intentions for the New Year, 2021.

The invitation is to set aside these three days to be on retreat and not schedule other activities, if possible. Please attend the live session if you can so you can receive individual assistance if needed and ask questions. Also, experiencing the support of the group is an important part of what is offered. However, if that is not possible, you are welcome to register and do the retreat by recording at your convenience.
