This retreat will offer a time of community exploration, grounded in the practice of the Six Paramitas (sometimes referred to as the Six Perfections).

This year we will focus on the theme of Confidence with teacher Ethan Nichtern.

Inspired by Rashid Hughes’ contemplative framework: R.E.S.T.-A Practice for the Tired & Weary and Gaylon Ferguson’s Welcoming Beginner’s Mind, this retreat invites a return to the natural ease and wisdom of presence.
