Retreat overview

Spaces Still Available!

We all “know” we will die, yet we tend to ignore this fact and put our collective head in the sand.

Rather than running away from our mortality, we can harness its power to stay aligned with our deepest values and to live and love more fully.

Fully embracing life’s impermanence can engender a deep freedom and letting go.

Through mindfulness of death maraṇasati practice, we become more present for this miraculous, passing show called life with gladness and gratitude.

Teachers: Nikki Mirghafori, John Martin, Jeanne Corrigal, Kodo Conlin
