A retreat provides an opportunity and a caring container for undertaking intensive personal practice. Meg's central practice offerings are Indo-Buddhist in nature, with a specific nod to Soto Zen Buddhist tradition and the Himalayan Yoga Tradition. 

With fewer diversions, the tendency toward distraction is reduced. In this space of intimacy with ourselves, there is a good possibility that we will know ourselves better after a retreat than we did before. Self-knowledge and understanding grow as we see that we can live each moment either with inattention, fear, and judgment or with clarity, kindness, and wakefulness. By cultivating the power of awareness, clarity, and kindness, we discover the path to liberation, inner freedom, and a peaceful heart.

Retreats are led by a team of experienced space holders from our broader spiritual community. Practice instruction is trauma-informed with emphasis around intentional community, awareness of rupture and repair, and exploration of risk-taking as a means of developing a sense of belonging.

All international retreats are conducted in partnership with the incredible, top-rated retreat guide and way-finder Vanessa Weber of Soulflow Journeys. When applying for these trips, note that you will be redirected through her primary website!
