Retreat is Ceremony: Mindfulness and Indigenous Presence for Wellness and Healing (290R21) - On the Land!

Registration open until 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) on September 8, 2021. A waiting list will be created if the program fills early.

RETREAT TO BE HELD ON THE LAND!
OPEN TO ALL: Indigenous people from around the world and allies.

Description:
This residential retreat will provide a conceptual framework and practice guidelines for Mindful “Indigenous Presence” meditation—a way of coming into harmony with the present moment and our world—and provides space for acceptance, and the cultivation of clarity, confidence, resilience and strength. This practice maps the fundamental wellness-optimizing characteristics of Indigenous Ceremony onto the methods and outcomes of another ancient traditional expression of sacred presence, that of mindfulness and lovingkindness meditation.

This retreat will be instructional, experiential, and interactive. Together we will explore the techniques of mindfulness/insight meditation and come to understand the strength-based and resilience optimizing characteristics of retreat as Ceremony.
