Retreats
Love’s Longing and Liberation: A Valentine’s Retreat Day
Sunday, February 12, 2023 → 10am – 12pm; 2pm – 4pm PT
Format: Zoom Online Video Meeting
Description: Longing for love is Love’s longing for itself. Answering the call to discover Love in the innermost depth of our heart can lead to liberation—liberation from the fears we may carry about unworthiness, rejection, and separation. The deepest love refuses to separate itself from any moment, inviting compassion, intimacy, clear seeing, and awakened living.
Join us for a day of guided and silent meditations and exploration of the Love that is calling us Home to the freedom inherent in our true nature.
Online Retreat Day Honoring the Life and Teachings of Ramana Maharshi
Saturday, April 15, 2023 → 10am – 12pm; 2pm – 4pm PT
Format: Zoom Online Video Meeting
“Enter with love the temple that is your own heart,
silently allowing the deep within to flow on and into the deep beyond . . . .”
Description: This retreat day is for any who have been touched by the life and teachings of Ramana Maharshi, or for those simply curious about this great sage of the 20th century. While his silent presence was his greatest teaching, he also advocated a direct path to Self-realization through Self-Inquiry. Please join us for silence, satsang, and reflections on his life and teachings.

“Empty space does not resist the free movement of infinite happenings.
In listening, speaking, and acting out of this common ground,
we can awaken to the joy of wholeness—our true home.”
—Toni Packer
Description: Is it possible to sit quietly without seeking? To allow everything to appear as it is? To listen without labeling? To question without scanning for answers? To see anything intimately without separation? To move from “not knowing” rather than from the mind’s endless attempts to know and to control? To clearly see the ways conditioned thinking hides truth? Opening to living Presence allows us to experience the wholeness of being. Join us for a three-day retreat of silent sitting, inquiry, listening and looking from a Presence that makes no demands, but opens us to the wonder of the present moment.
