In Person

For those of us who love to dive deeply into the heart of the non-dual understanding, retreats offer an unprecedented opportunity: seven days with Rupert and friends, nestled in a beautiful location in nature, where we steep together in the peace of our true nature. Retreats gather us in the heart of being, where we spend our days in self-abidance, friendship and creativity.

You are invited to join us at the Garrison Institute in celebrating the farmers of the Cold Spring Farmers’ Market and the work of Philipstown Food Pantry; while shining a light on food insecurity in our region.

Participants will be guided by Dr. Ryan Erbe, through a series of Christian contemplative-based practices that enable connection with God and Embodiment of His Word.

Open to all who identify as: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, or Queer +. This retreat is an opportunity for us to come together as an LGBTQIA+ community and care for ourselves: to remember who we really are and to recollect our true inner goodness.

Join us for an eight-day intensive silent retreat focusing on rediscovering our values and living life to the fullest, with the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care.

This retreat will offer a time of community exploration, grounded in the practice of the Six Paramitas (sometimes referred to as the Six Perfections). As we dive into the teachings of generosity, ethical conduct, patience, diligence, meditative concentration, and wisdom, we uncover their relevance in our relationships with both ourselves and others.

Please join us for this Seven Day retreat with Teacher Rupert Spira. Each day will feature a guided meditation in which we rest in being, as well as a dialogue where we will discuss the non-dual understanding.
