Custom programming tailored to meet the needs of your community.
Using research-backed formats and culturally-responsive, trauma-informed teaching frameworks, we impart lessons in self-awareness and empathy and teach techniques that can be used to calm and focus the mind. Our retreats provide participants with opportunities to learn and implement both individual and relational mindfulness practices. They also teach how to apply mindfulness content and skills to daily life.
Self-awareness
What is my experience of life from inside?
Compassion
What are others experiencing?
Self-care
What are the ways I create ease for my body and mind?
Ethical decision-making
How do I act from what is true?
Our immersive programs provide a rare opportunity for deep personal insight, self-compassion and appreciation, and authentic connection within a fun and welcoming community of peers and mentors.
