Hello All!

  

Just some quick notes about space...space we have in a few upcoming workshops.  

 

For my Silent Meditation Weekend, Friday, March 18 meditation in nature- Sunday, March 20, we have TWO spaces open. Are you looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful surrounding, and the opportunity to still your mind and body? Then maybe this is just what you need. I would love to have you!   

 

And our Ayurvedic Self-Care weekend with AmAmadea sideadea Morningstar, March 25 - 27, has ONE space open, to stay over the two nights, and a few more spaces open for commuters. This will be a weekend filled with Ayurvedic cooking, learning about herbs and oils, and how to truly take care of your needs through Ayurveda.  

 

The retreat weekends are held at the beautiful and fox haven 2serene Fox Haven Farm in Jefferson, Maryland. Details for both events are listed below.  

 

Please call me ASAP if you are interested in attending either of these weekends! Both of these retreats are designed to welcome Spring and transition into the change of the season with grace and ease.

We will discuss how meditation, the practice of maitri (loving-kindness), and Buddhist philosophy can provide support in navigating the loss of relationship. Whether your heart was broken yesterday or years ago, the elements needed to tread the path to wisdom and a deeper capacity to love are present. As we explore, you'll discover that the dark power of heartbreak can introduce you to gentleness, fearlessness, and intelligence. If you stay with your broken heart, it will surely lead you down the path to wisdom.
