Fall Retreat with Zen Focus
Friday, October 18 at 8:00am through Sunday, October 20 at 4:00pm
Retreat into the Present Moment...
Turn inward and reflect on personal goals and renewal in the context of loving community… time away from life’s demands. Includes movement class Friday morning, Full Moon Drumming Friday night (optional), quiet time for walking or biking on the Trace or journaling, art, and group time to help create a sacred container for the weekend.
Psycho-Spiritual Inner Work...
Just returning from 8 days' retreat with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, Patricia will share mindful walking, breathing, eating, and spiritual psychology in our peaceful and beautiful space, along with art, music and more. A percentage of the proceeds go to Thich Nhat Hanh's Foundation and monasteries. Drawing on her background of weeks-long studies with Jack Kornfield (Buddhist Psychology), Stan Grof (father of Holotropic Breathwork Journeys) and Thich Nhat Hanh (Zen Buddhist master and peace activist), Patricia will weave quiet mindfulness practices with evocative journey work to soothe and renew the psyche. Calming, releasing, balancing.
