SUMMARY:Free info session August 5\, 7 pm ET to talk about Inexplicable Magic: A 5-day in-person retreat in November
DESCRIPTION:Meditation was never meant to be just another tool for stress relief. At its heart\, it is a spiritual practice—one that helps us meet life with wisdom\, compassion\, and fierce courage. These are not abstract qualities. They are real\, and urgently needed in our world right now…and can be rediscovered on retreat.  \nI get that going on retreat is a complicated notion. Everyone is so busy. It costs money. You don’t know who else will be there or if you’ll like the food. At least these are the things I think about!  \nHowever\, to take time away from the stresses of daily life and turn down the noise is essential. This is how we reconnect to our inner wisdom\, love\, and courage.  \nI hope you’ll join me to talk all this over at a free info session on Tuesday\, August 5 at 7 pm ET. We will talk about the power of retreat (and what really goes on) and I’ll share details about an upcoming opportunity to practice together\, in real life\, at beautiful Kripalu\, November 30–December 5\, 2025.  \nI look forward to seeing you!  \n  \nPlease register here for the Aug. 5 info session \n7:00-8:00 pm ET \nAll who register will receive a link to the recording. Questions? Email us.

SUMMARY:The Open Heart Path: A Deep Meditation Retreat at Drala Mountain Center
DESCRIPTION:Register for the Drala Mountain Center retreat Aug. 25-Sept. 1\, 2025 here \nPlease join New York Times best selling author and Buddhist teacher Susan Piver for a week of meditation practice within a supportive community. This program brings together three important components of the spiritual journey: connecting with your own wakefulness through the practice of shamatha-vipashyana meditation; spending time reflecting on the nature of your personal journey; and feeling the quiet but powerful support that comes from sitting with others. In the Buddhist view these three jewels—Buddha\, Dharma\, and Sangha—are the supports needed to create a steady practice and discover the next steps for our personal journey. Suitable for beginners as well as experienced practitioners. Includes complete meditation instruction\, daily yoga\, and an introduction to Buddhist chants. The Refuge Vow will also be offered for those who are interested. \n \nSample Daily Schedule\n7:00 a.m. Practice session\n8:00 a.m. Breakfast\n9:00 a.m. Yoga\n9:45 a.m Practice session\n12:30 p.m. Lunch\n2:30 p.m. Practice session\n4:00 p.m. Tea\n4:30 p.m. Practice session\n6:00 p.m. Dinner\n7:30 p.m. Practice session\n8:30 p.m. Conclude\n10:00 p.m. Lights Out \n  \nAug 25\nArrival Day \nAug 26–31 \nFull Practice Days \nSep 1\nProgram ends at breakfast \nRegistration details here
