Non-Residential Retreat: Breathing Into the Clear Vision and Stillness of Fall

Breathing Into the Clear Vision and Stillness of Fall 

As the leaves turn and the harvest season invites us to pause, gather, and give thanks, we come together in retreat to breathe into the clarity, beauty, and stillness of fall.

During this retreat, we will explore the footsteps of the Bodhisattvas—awakening compassion, presence, and a deep appreciation for this precious life.

We will practice through:

● Mindful sitting, walking, and movement

● Ceremony and ritual

● Art that nourishes and opens the soul

● Song, dance, and prayer

● Mindfully sharing meals and the simple joy of being together as beloved community

May we slow down enough to listen deeply—to the turning of the season, to our own hearts, and to one another.

Let us savor this time of harvest and abundance, receiving what this season has to offer and celebrating the richness of our shared journey.

Come, let us breathe together into the clear vision and stillness of fall.
