You are warmly invited to join us on September 19 for a special daylong event to celebrate our supporters
We are gathering a group of the Garrison Institute’s friends for a special experience this fall: an immersive day of contemplative practice, conversation, and connection in community.
The day will feature a keynote conversation between Garrison Institute co-founder and Board Chair Jonathan F.P. Rose and author and 10% Happier podcast host Dan Harris, and a closing seated contemplative practice.
The schedule for the day will also include: breakfast, a nature-based contemplative practice, and lunch.
