In person
Written by Maura about the retreat:
During our day together through meditation, small group practices, dialogue and talks we will explore the places in ourselves that may feel constricted or split off from the qualities of the open heart. The possibility of reconnecting with our inherent goodness to enter the deep flow of well-being. Re joining us with and nourished by the Benediction of the Great Emptiness.
