JOIN US THIS January!
In winter our energy moves inward, into the quiet and darkness of the season. Just like a seed in the winter ground waiting for spring, there is a potency that lies within us. Join us in this intentional time of reflection as we ease into this new year.

January 4th 10am- 4pm PT/ 1pm - 7pm ET
This retreat is an immersive exploration of the potently healing combination of relational mindfulness, silent meditation, and somatic expression. We will move between silent mindfulness practice periods and relational mindfulness practice periods, interwoven with mindful movement, all from the comfort of your own home.
With the support of a guided mindfulness practice, group agreements, and thoughtful facilitation, we will explore what it's like to relate to other people. We can see what our reactions are, and notice how these reactions feel.
Relational mindfulness is an experiential practice of using mindfulness while in connection with others.
When we learn to listen more fully to another AND internally to our own experience, there is a surprising amount of insight, clarity, and depth that is possible.
The retreat will be held online. Zoom details will be shared once we receive your registration and payment.
