For those of us who love to dive deeply into the heart of the non-dual understanding, retreats offer an unprecedented opportunity: seven days with Rupert and friends, nestled in a beautiful location in nature, where we steep together in the peace of our true nature. Retreats gather us in the heart of being, where we spend our days in self-abidance, friendship and creativity.
You are invited to join us at the Garrison Institute in celebrating the farmers of the Cold Spring Farmers’ Market and the work of Philipstown Food Pantry; while shining a light on food insecurity in our region.
Participants will be guided by Dr. Ryan Erbe, through a series of Christian contemplative-based practices that enable connection with God and Embodiment of His Word.
Open to all who identify as: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, or Queer +. This retreat is an opportunity for us to come together as an LGBTQIA+ community and care for ourselves: to remember who we really are and to recollect our true inner goodness.
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.
