"We may seek in many directions for fulfillment, excitement, pleasure, meaning and purpose and then, one day, we might wonder who it is that is doing all this seeking? Such a moment is a very significant change of trajectory. It is the first step in a journey home to discover what is truly living this Life."
​
The retreat will begin with on Friday afternoon February 6th with a 1:00 pm (Eastern) Introductory talk. Don will also speak Friday evening and Saturday morning. Saturday morning will also include an extended guided meditation. Saturday afternoon will be devoted to dialogues with Don.

​​Retreat Overview
​
"The Essence of Spirituality is to discover - for yourself - what is living this life. We can easily name things that we do, but if we don't know who it is that is doing all these things, it begs the questions: "Who is all this activity really for?" This essence has been called by many names (spirit, soul, True Nature and so on). The name we give is not important, but the firsthand encounter with that will be surprising and life-changing."
​
The retreat will begin with check-in on Friday afternoon March 6th and will end mid-day on Sunday March 8th. Well Being will provide Supper on arrival and lunch on Sunday. Please plan to bring and prepare food for your other meals. We will provide coffee, teas and snacks throughout. (All cabins have kitchenettes.) Don will speak mornings and afternoons with time for Q&A. Silent sittings will be led by Patty. There will be plenty of time to enjoy our 160 acres of abundant Nature. Cost $295.

A Live Streaming Option for $75 is also available.

Session Overview​​
"When we gaze outward, there is astonishing diversity; an incredible multitude of life forms. Where there are differences there is separation. But what about that which is aware of this diversity? Is that not singular? So, which is fundamental? The seen or the unseen?"
