Fall Mindfulness Retreat, Nov. 11 - 14, 2021.
Join us for a weekend of peace and natural beauty. The retreat will take place in San Marcos/Escondido on a 640 acre sacred space.
Restore, revitalize and reset with a richness of movement, stillness, silence and nature. We'll practice therapeutic yoga and energizing yet calming chi gong, illuminating breathwork, and deep meditation with sound bath. We'll take invigorating nature walks/hikes. And eat delicious and nourishing vegetarian meals carefully and lovingly prepared by Daphne Brennan. There will be blocks of time where we practice Noble Silent. There are lots of hiking trails, labyrinth walks, shaded oaks, sanctuaries, private meditation spots and wildlife. There is plenty of space for you to find spiritual reconnection, solitude and silence. You'll be joined by a supportive group of mindful and caring yogis.
Retreat starts on Thursday, Nov. 11. Check in is at 3pm. Retreat ends on Sunday, Nov. 14. Check out is at 11am. Reserve your spot with a $100 non-refundable deposit per person. Full balance is due on October 11, one month prior to retreat start date,

Noble Silence: While on retreat, participants are asked to practice silence (no talking) during designated times. This traditional practice is meant to initiate your inner journey and to help you focus on your mindfulness practice. Even when you are not fully immersed in the Noble Silence, continue to observe gentle silence and be mindful of others who are.
