Online City Retreat with Rachel Lewis and Christina Feldman
Online
Registration opens: Dec 2 2024
Financial assistance deadline: Nov 18 2024
This City Retreat has different participation expectations than a residential or online retreat. We invite you to simplify your schedule during the week so that you can participate in all of our live sessions. These sessions are scheduled so that people with day jobs can work as normal during the week, even while setting the intention to bring more mindfulness into their daily life.

Messy Minds, Winding Path, Joyful Hearts
With an open attitude, both playful and compassionate, we will journey over the weekend into the heart of our turbulent, confused minds. Our own benevolent presence will silently guide us, pointing out dangers and pathways. Pascal, through instructions and teachings, will also help us skillfully navigate the terrain of our lives. The adventure will bring us to the very gate of wisdom, where liberating perspectives await us.
