In collaboration with Dr. Bayo Akomolafe / Dancing with Mountains and Ayin Press, we offer a short course exploration, and an in-person retreat called ‘Selah’. Selah is a series of retreats crafted around Dr. Akomolafe’s thesis that contemporary times call for something more than healing, justice, resolution, or solution.
Join Dr. Daniel Siegel for an immersive retreat at the Garrison Institute, where science and contemplative wisdom meet to unlock new understandings of the mind, personality, and our journey toward wholeness. Through the lens of Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDP), an interpersonal neurobiology-informed framework inspired by the Enneagram, Dr. Siegel will guide participants in discovering how innate tendencies and learned behaviors shape our sense of self—and how these patterns can become pathways to transformation.
A day-long symposium to explore and celebrate the spiritual legacy of Fr. Thomas Keating: Trappist monk, enlightened spiritual master, founder of the Centering Prayer movement, and a pillar of contemplative inter-spiritual dialogue.

Thomas’s prophetic vision of Oneness as both an inner state of consciousness and an outer pathway of planetary healing.

Dharma is a concept that underlies Buddhist and Hindu practice. It provides guidance on how to navigate the world – whether you’re meditating under a tree or trying to create an ethical life in the 21st century. Over 3 virtual sessions, we will examine how Indian thought traditions have understood dharma in the original texts and how much of this is practical in a modern context. Beginning with an overview of dharma, we will examine the applicability of dharmic ideas in the here-and-now before discussing dharma and the greatest issue facing us all – environmental change.
In a time of increasing disruption and loss of cohesion, it is more important than ever before to have a place of refuge that is stable, especially for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities. In this retreat, mindfulness will be at the heart of all we do. In addition to daily dharma teachings, we will practice daily mindful walking, or moving, sitting (or stationary) meditation, mindful eating, singing, dharma writing, and dharma sharing.
