We often think of love as a feeling, but it is not so much a feeling as a way of being present. Finding mental ease in relationships is an art — and also a science that requires certain skills. We will build those skills together through the science of the mind and meditation practice.

This retreat will reach all your senses, your intellect, your emotions, and your heart. You’ll immerse in meditation, compassion practice, and awareness practice with ample time for cultural experiences, enjoyment, and getting to know a wonderful group of people.

Detachment (or Buddhist non-attachment) is not indifference—it’s a deep self-compassion practice and the freedom to separate your inner peace from someone else’s moods or opinions. Detachment is a way of being deeply yourself and going through life feeling strong in who you are. Detachment means letting go on a daily basis so that what’s yours can find you. To build your inner strength and the empowerment to let go, join this talk and meditation session.

This four-week series explores how self-compassion can transform the way we show up in every relationship—whether with family, partners, colleagues, or ourselves. Each week will focus on a different dimension of self-compassion to yourself in a way that enriches connection to others. Through guided meditations, science of the mind, ancient philosophy (from Buddhism to Laozi to early Christianity and rabbinic Judaism), you will release unhealthy patterns of relating to others. You'll cultivate a deeper sense of inner safety in relation to the people in your life. Each relationship will get better as a result and you will feel more at ease!
