Welcome to our annual Wake Up Retreat!

We will practice mindfulness throughout our time together, helping us to come back to the present moment. When we arrive in the present moment, happiness and peace is available. Our joy and creativity is revealed and together we can be the change we hope to see in the world. We start to experience the world differently, more vibrantly, more real. We will also continue to discover how our habits of thinking, talking and acting make our world appear.

During this retreat we will practice mindfulness together as a community:

  • Getting to know our restless mind & befriending ourselves
  • Sitting, Walking & Eating Meditation
  • Working Together
  • Singing, Exercise, Hiking
  • Sharing & Listening
  • Silence & Nature
  • Discovering our Aspiration in Life

We will learn the arts of focusing, relaxing, being present, enjoying life and being happy together.
