Living in the Here & Now Residential Retreat - October 24-26, 2008

Cost is $295 ($325 for deposits made after June 15th, 2008)

It is a gift to ourselves to set aside time from our busyness to reconnect with ourselves and with life. An Awakening retreat is about opening into that place of healing and renewal, and learning ways to continue to live from there as we go back into our daily lives. 

Two powerful tools that aid us in re-awakening to this sacred and mysterious process we call life are keen attention and the healing balm of mercy. When we put these two together, we have compassionate curiosity, the art of being open and available to all that life offers us.

This 2-night retreat will be held at Wellspring, a beautiful retreat center in Ashford, Washington. Wellspring is a place uniquely suited for healing and renewal. Located at the foot of Mt. Rainier in a beautiful wooded setting, it offers a mountain lodge surrounded by cozy cabins, hot tubs, and an outdoor labyrinth.

To register, click on the Living In the Here and Now link above, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Registration Form link.  Fill-in and submit the form. A non-refundable deposit of $100 will hold your place.  The full amount is due September 1st, 2008.

There will be no refunds for cancellations made after September 1st, but any payments may be applied to another retreat (minus $100).

Waking Up In Paradise Residential Retreat

Cost is $1875 ($1675 for deposits made before May 15th, 2008)

Travel is separate and you need to make your own arrangements.

The retreat will be held at Hui Ho'olana, a beautiful retreat center on the island of Molokai.  With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and nearby islands, the center is surrounded by trees, fragrant flowers, luscious ferns, spacious open lawns, and scenic hiking trails providing an ideal environment for inspiration and a safe haven for the growth and nurturing of the spirit.

Please click on the title link above for retreat details and the Hui Ho'olana link above for more about the retreat center.

The focus of the retreat is on learning how to show up for whatever life brings in each moment. In that process, we will have times of silence and times of exploring together ideas and skills that invite us back into life. We will share both our wisdom and the challenges of learning to quiet our minds and open our hearts.  There will be some meditation. The emphasis, however, is not on meditation techniques, but rather on using meditation practices to experience each moment of our lives more fully.

To register, click on the Waking Up In Paradise link above, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Registration Form link.  Fill-in and submit the form. A deposit of $500 will hold your place ($200 is non-refundable).  The full amount is due December 1st, 2008.

There will be no refunds for cancellations made less than 60 days before the retreat begins, but any payments may be applied to another retreat (minus $200).
