About this Retreat
As we expand our meditation practices of Mindfulness and Lovingkindness...
As we meet our present moments and lived experiences for what they are
As we meet everything with the gentleness of our simple awareness
As we no longer take our lives for granted --
a kindness begins to arise that is the energy of Gratitude --
the openness and wonder of what the moment really is like --
the "WOW!"of truly living -- not a thought, or dream, or wish...
but our precious life.

Please join us to explore -- experiment -- enjoy -- everything
