Retreat is deep relaxation
Each of us needs to relinquish the forward press of our everyday lives, and deeply rest the body and mind.
A tranquil heart
8-Week Course alumni and other meditators at all levels of experience are warmly invited to attend Online Live All-day Retreats.
All-days are offered at lowest possible cost, and are free of charge for StressCare alumni. Early registration is recommended.
Relaxation is the necessary point of departure….once one has realized relaxation, it is possible to realize a tranquil heart and a clear mind.”
–Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness
How to relax?
We support one another in the marvelous adventure of coming home to ourselves.
We relax the body by attending to sensations and responding carefully. We relax the mind by letting thoughts and feelings come and go, without trying to control them. We allow everything to be just as it is, moment after moment. We connect with our inmost resources such as love, dignity, and gratitude throughout the day.
Retreats all year

Guidance in the fundamentals
The most important part of mindfulness is to keep your practice alive. The way to do it is to do it.”
