Calm, Clarity and Compassion Silent Meditation Retreat with Tanya Mahar and Erin McCarthy
This retreat is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, unwind and hang out with other lovely folks interested in meditation. We will gently explore techniques that cultivate tranquility, deep presence and compassion.
With daily mindfulness meditation instruction, gentle yoga, lots of opportunity for self-directed practice and/or free time and crystal bowl sound sessions, this retreat offers a supportive, peaceful environment for establishing or deepening your practice.
Is This For Me? This is a self-directed retreat - meaning you can practice/participate as much or little as you like. So for those new to meditation, this is a supportive, gentle space to learn about mindfulness. For more experienced practitioners, this is a great opportunity to deepen your practice in community. Outside of group activities, silence will be maintained inside the building to cultivate a very calm, introspective experience and to deepen inner quiet.
