This year we offer retreats with one overnight, which are called "A Day of Your Life." The two retreats scheduled during 2008 begin with lunch at noon on Saturday and end just before lunch on Sunday morning. The fee is $150 which includes three meals and your lodging as well as all instruction.

Our first "A Day of Your Life" retreat this year is an experiential and meditative examination of graceful aging and new understandings about death. There are eight gates of wisdom through which we all must walk in order to be liberated from the disparaging stereotypes of aging and to light a new path for all of the generations to come after us. During this overnight retreat, we reclaim and model the dignity, grace, and authentic power that true elderhood confers.

This special retreat is open to students who wish to explore and practice a meditative experience. The retreat will include Hatha yoga practice, pranayam, and various methods of meditation practice including working with Kundalini energy. It is an opportunity to delve very deeply into our inner worlds to explore the true face of our soul. There will also be interpersonal exercises, guided meditations, and explorations of nature to help co-create this inner search.
