Self-Care: Silent Meditation Retreat

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed?  Self-criticism and self-loathing undermining your confidence?  In this silent retreat, you'll enjoy guided meditations that enable you to experience the extraordinary potential for happiness and emotional freedom that is the actual nature of your mind. From this perspective we can learn a radical form of self-acceptance and love, the basis for real spiritual growth.  Suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, each session will include practical instruction and guided meditation. We will observe silence during our brief breaks to enhance our meditative experience. Join us at the end for an informal Q&A and light refreshments if you wish.
