Our Sacred Roots: A Meditation Retreat for Women
For those who identify as women. Spaces Still Available! For thousands of years, women have contributed to and deepened Buddhist practices of liberation across cultures and continents. Women’s voices, experience, and stories, however, have been largely neglected in Buddhist history. By retrieving the sacred roots of our feminine lineage, we imbue spiritual life with wisdom, tenderness, courage, and resilience. During this retreat we will reconnect to and embody women’s unique expression of spiritual life from the time of the Buddha through the present-day across the cultural spectrum.

The Natural Clarity of Awareness: Courage, Connection, and Compassion
Spaces Still Available! This retreat explores refined qualities of attention that deepen mindfulness and support insight into the nature of experience. By inclining the mind toward restful, non-reactive awareness, we open to tranquility, clarity, and joy. Moment-to-moment presence reveals our entanglement with changing conditions and guides us toward freedom. These natural capacities are seeds of awakening and help integrate mindfulness, compassion, and wise action into daily life. The retreat includes Dharma teachings, meditation instructions, mindful movement, and guidance in the practice of lovingkindness.
