Retreats

During this hybrid non-residential weekend retreat we aim to cultivate relaxation, awareness, and insight. We will explore how open, relaxed awareness can naturally reveal the patterns and conditionings that shape our experience. By approaching our practice with relaxed interest, we create space for experience to unfold simply and naturally, allowing wisdom to emerge in its own time.

As winter thaws and the high peaks awaken with new life, this springtime retreat invites you to explore mindfulness in the living presence of the Rocky Mountains. Informed by the teachings of the Burmese monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya, with whom the teachers have studied, our practice emphasizes a relaxed, natural awareness.

This retreat offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with your true self while surrounded by the calming presence of the natural world. This outdoor retreat is centered on teaching some powerful and practical mindfulness tools to help you stay afloat amidst life's challenges, allowing you to move freely with clarity, peace, and wisdom. Through guided practices of insight meditation you’ll learn how to stay anchored in the present moment, even as the currents of life flow around you.

This retreat invites you to explore insight and the awakening of the heart. Drawing on a traditional image of the mind being gently cleansed and brightened, we will learn to recognize and release difficult mindstates so that qualities like clarity, confidence, and kindness can naturally arise.
