We will engage with the ancient teachings and practices offered by the Buddha that cultivate compassion, wisdom, and skillful actions.
We’ve never been more connected and yet so divided. Just as technology brings us closer together, we are increasingly polarized, finding affirmation in online echo chambers rather than seeking common ground.

This year we will focus on the theme of Confidence.

In this retreat we’ll review a wide array of contemplative and somatic embodiment practices as well as contemporary psychological based tools to overcome self-fixation and gain access to a core drive to connect with the transpersonal serenity of being, getting curious with existence, and being kinder to our core beings.

This retreat will offer a time of community exploration, grounded in the practice of the Six Paramitas (sometimes referred to as the Six Perfections).

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.

This retreat will delve into the heart of our existence, as life Itself. Mukti will point participants to their essential Self, prior to personal identities, roles, history, or future. She’ll also focus on how to nurture remembrance of Self nature—free of definitions and divisions.

This retreat will also provide several periods of daily, silent group meditation, as well as time to rest and enjoy the natural surroundings.
