Join us this October for the first of three retreats ( Fall, Winter & Spring). Our fall retreat will be held at Essex Woods Retreat Center in Essex, Massachusetts. The retreat center is located on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and is nestled within a 17 acre woodland. From the moment you arrive you will experience a deep peace and serenity. Our day of mindfulness practices will take place on the grounds of the center which include woods, meadows, cultivated sculpture gardens and a waterfall flowing into a small pond. Each practice is designed to support the deepening of our awareness of the natural world and our place within it. This cultivation of a natural, mindful attention can help open our hearts to delight, wisdom and awe. Should the weather be inclement we will have access to both a large tent or an indoor space.

I will contact all registered participants the night before to update everyone on weather conditions and make suggestions for appropriate dress. Please bring a bag lunch and water and any snacks you would like to have on hand.

There is a $50 facility fee.
