Meditation & Mindfulness

Meditation and mindfulness skills can be powerful ways to transform your life and viewpoint. These retreats offer opportunities to learn to meditate, expand your mindfulness skillset, or engage in deeper practices with both skills. Some retreats will focus more on either Meditation or Mindfulness, while others incorporate both.

Retreats in this category are drawn from many wisdom traditions and are not necessarily Buddhist in nature.
