About this Retreat
Rest and Renew invites participants to deepen self-awareness, cultivate genuine connection, and meet life’s challenges with greater ease and understanding. Whether new to meditation or looking to refresh your practice, this retreat offers tools to cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and resilience in your daily life. Participants will have ample time for solo practice, reflection, and community engagement.
Over this in-person weekend retreat, participants learn foundational Buddhist meditation practices like Loving Kindness (Metta), Compassion (Tonglen), Calm Abiding (Shamata), and relational practices called Sangha Skills. The learning takes place with the support and warmth of a like-minded community. This retreat is only offered in person to provide an immersive and focused environment free from distractions. Recordings will not be available to preserve the integrity of the retreat experience.
