​​Retreat Overview
​
"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."

Session Overview
​
"In the West, Karma is often presented as a debt from the past to be paid down in this lifetime, But if we are doing good deeds only to advance our spiritual prospects, how noble is that really? In this program, the matter of dealing with karmic patterns and tendencies in a practical way will be addressed."
