Wisdom of The Heart Retreat aims to introduce the qualities of the heart: loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Crafted for you to find peace and tranquility to reconnect with yourself, provide space and time to cultivate openness of the heart and deepen the capacity to listen deeply to yourself, and offer love, kindness, and happiness to yourself and others.

The Wisdom of The Heart blends elements of calming and settling practices that include periods of sitting/walking/standing/lying meditation, mindful movement and mindful eating to soothe and bring awakening presence to your heart space. An opportunity for you to come into the present with yourself, open your tender and compassionate heart, and live gracefully in alignment with your heart-mind.
