Cultivate Deeper Presence, Subtlety and Compassion
Dear friends,
​
We are thrilled to extend an invitation to our upcoming 3-day online meditation retreat, bringing the transformative experience of inner exploration and healing right to your home. We're excited to embark on this journey together in the digital realm.
This virtual retreat will focus on silent meditation, trauma healing, and enhancing your subtle attunement capacities, offering a profound and immersive experience accessible from anywhere in the world.
Throughout the retreat, you'll be expertly guided through practices that cultivate deeper awareness, presence, and compassion toward yourself and others. Together, we'll explore techniques for healing from past traumas, and mindfulness practices that can empower you in your daily life.
In this online format, you'll have the unique opportunity to integrate your practice into your everyday surroundings, finding moments of stillness and reflection amidst the familiar. Whether it's a corner of your living room or a spot in your backyard, you'll discover that the sanctuary of meditation is wherever you are.
All sessions will be conducted live via video conferencing, fostering a sense of community and shared intention among participants. And while we won't be sharing meals in person, we encourage you to nourish yourself with healthy, mindful eating during our meal breaks.
The cost of the retreat, including all sessions, is $400. We understand that financial considerations may be a concern, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to inquire about scholarship opportunities (david@beingwholehearted.com).
We sincerely hope that you'll join us for this transformative journey. Don't miss out on this chance to immerse yourself in the practice of meditation, cultivate inner clarity, and experience healing from the comfort of your own home.
Warm regards,
David & Heather
