From a Habit-Driven state to Inner Freedom
Human transformation depends on becoming able to really see what is without projecting through our past experiences and the limiting interpretations of our mind. This workshop supports letting go of unhealthy habits and opening up to a more loving, caring and fulfilling approach. It is about learning to flow with life by spontaneously and creatively responding to that which is in each moment instead of following addictive behavior. The workshop will include active and silent meditation exercises, as well as time to ask questions.

Celebrating All Seasons of Life
A ripening and understanding toward the ways of nature is possible with age. The older a person becomes, the more deeply alive, joyous, and grateful he or she can be. Allowing oneself to become familiar with the dimension of ones ‘beingness’ without trying to be useful, special or powerful allows a new depth to be reached; a place in oneself where one can relax and discover new qualities of life and new aspects and deeper dimensions of reality. Then it is possible to know one’s own inner youth and to live with no regrets. The workshop will include active and silent meditation exercises, as well as time to ask questions.

Satsang with Michael Brown
Dedicated to exploring present moment awareness experientially as a portal into authenticity, integrity, and intimacy.
No One Can Help Us Or Is Coming To Save Us.
No rites, rituals, outer tools, or ceremonial practices rescue us from having to face the authentic condition of our heart.  We are responsible for our experience and the condition of our heart is the casual point of our experience.  By carrying anyone else, or allowing ourselves to be carried by anyone or anything, we are being inauthentic, irresponsible, and heartless.
