Renewal, Healing and Transformation ~ Zoom Retreat ~ Scholarship Eligible ~ Zoom

with Ofosu Jones-Quartey

January 15 - 17, 2021

This past year has been one of the most tumultuous in recent history. Many of us have been deeply impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest and political tensions. In this retreat we will come together to begin to restore balance to our minds, bodies, and hearts.

Over three days, we will explore meditation as a path to renewal, gently returning again and again to the present moment through the various practices of mindfulness. We will engage in healing practices and reflections, deepening our love and care for ourselves and others through reflection, meditation (both sitting and moving) and healing sound baths.

Finally, we will explore our capacity to transform difficult circumstances into the path of loving presence, refreshing our perspectives and attitudes as we enter a new year.
