Daily we are asked to move in the direction of bravery, to stretch in the direction of goodness, kindness, forgiveness, patience, and vulnerability.  Yet life’s tender fragility, fear, and anxiety, and our own practiced self-sabotage can derail us from growing and thriving, leaving us fractured and afraid.

In this virtual annual Spring retreat, we explore mindfulness practices that support individual and collection transformation and liberation.  Centering practices to promote self-discovery, delight, spiritual discernment, compassionate inquiry, and renewal, you’ll leave the retreat with practices to support you in courageous and compassionate action to live with greater clarity and purpose.

Love is an open invitation to be who we truly are. It is a practice that changes us from the inside out so that who and what we love grows stronger. Love’s nature is generative in all directions, enlarging our lives. To love is to practice peace within yourself, in your relations, and in your work in the world. In this one-day, gently and generously spaced online retreat, we explore love that supports a calm and peaceful heart and engages compassionate action to create a more socially just world….

We’re facing a critical moment in history as the realities of systemic oppression, injustice, and climate crisis awaken a desire to move toward individual and collective liberation, justice, and compassionate action. Love stands at the very core of this movement. Join us in a healing-focused retreat, offering practices in the Plum Village tradition of engaged Buddhism to water the seeds of love and to open the heart toward greater compassion and peace for all beings. This retreat is focused on renewal, reflection, and action grounded in understanding and love.
