Retreats

Into every life, at least a little rest must fall…

Lest we lose ourself in the whirlpool around us.

It is important to give your body-mind-spirit a break from everyday life and its related stresses. 

It is important to reconnect with beauty—the beauty in us and the beauty around us…

So that we may remind ourself to remember in our EveryDay life who we are, how beautiful we are, just as we are.

A retreat can take the form of an intentional breath in and an intentional breath out.

A retreat is any way we create or find to give ourselves this break, 

to give ourselves support, to immerse ourself in beauty.

We do the best we know how.  And as we grow in what we know, we make space for what we CAN know, for what we CAN do.

My retreat offerings reflect this appreciation for who we are in this moment.

From mini-retreats of a couple of hours to weeklong gatherings of like-hearted people wanting to replenish, restore, and explore, my retreats offer you ways to grow, to be present with yourself, to expand your repertoire, to refresh, to renew, to revitalize.

You Have To Grow From The Inside Out…There Is No Other Teacher But Your Own Soul.
— Swami Vivekananda

My retreats take place in person and online.  I create and hold a safe and sacred space for you to experience your own sacred self.

Each theme reflects my foundational idea of finding and receiving “Beauty In Your Own Backyard.”
