Spring Retreat : May 2019


Absolute Acceptance : Start Right Where You Are

When you become overwhelmed, what do you do?  Do you find ways to escape? Maybe even just with the imagination?  When things get uncomfortable do you quickly image how it should all be different so that it is more comfortable for you? There are so many ways that we get in our own way.  So many ways we get stuck in the cycle of blame, shame, wanting it differently and then doing it the same. It takes courage to see and then cut through the layers of thinking to get to the place where we actually are and then to start to make the chooses to initiate and maintain change from our embodied truth.

Over the course of this spring weekend in upstate New York, we will explore and embody Absolute Acceptance together using movement, stillness and ritual as access points.  What does it actually feel like to experience all that we are experiencing in any given moment and how do we accept it all? Using the interplay between movement, ritual and meditation we will access, engage, deepen our ability to accept all of ourselves and discover the ways in which we want to move forward from there.

Join us in the Hudson Valley as spring emerges for a weekend of reprieve, practice and self-study that will rejuvenate your sense of connection to self.

Sound meditation will be performed by Franck Raharinosy on both Friday and Saturday evenings.
