—————-
As the holiday season approaches, we invite you to step away from the busyness and demands of December and enter a spacious time of rest, reflection, and renewal. This 4-day retreat offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover the natural sense of balance and peace that dwells at the heart of our being as our truest nature.
Through meditation, Yoga practices, intentional silence, rest, and reflection, we will gently calm the mind, come more fully into the present, and deepen our connection with the unchanging spiritual presence within. In the midst of the holiday season, this retreat can offer a precious pause—a time to listen inwardly, nourish the heart, and reconnect with what is most meaningful.
Join Swami Ramananda, Claudia Bartsch, and Mirabai Warkulwiz for an in-person 4-day retreat that includes Yoga classes for all levels of practice, inspiring workshops, meditation, evening programs, healthy vegetarian meals, and spacious free time for walking, resting, reading, or simply being in nature.
The spacious practice of silence, from Thursday evening until Sunday morning, invites us to turn inward, cultivate a deeper sense of peace, and renew our commitment to living with greater awareness, compassion, and courage. As the retreat falls during the holiday season, including the final day of Hanukkah, we welcome this time of quiet reflection as an opportunity to honor the light within and around us.
We are blessed once again to gather at Commonweal Retreat Center in Bolinas, surrounded by the natural beauty of the ocean and land. Located on sacred Native American grounds, Commonweal provides a peaceful setting for contemplation, practice, and renewal. The combination of Yoga, meditation, silence, nourishing food, and time in nature offers an opportunity to gently release the accumulated stimulation of daily life and restore body, mind, and spirit.
Come as you are, and give yourself the gift of a few days to pause, breathe, listen, and reconnect with the peace that is always within.
Early registration recommended.
