About this event
with Resident Teacher Kadam Michelle Gauthier
In this half-day silent, gadget-free retreat, we will step away from the constant noise of daily life and reconnect with the natural clarity of our mind and the inner peace that is always within us. This inner peace is the true source of all our happiness and well-being, yet many of us have never learned how to access it.
Through guided meditations, clear instruction, and quiet reflection, you will discover practical methods to settle the mind, let go of distraction, and experience a deeper sense of calm and contentment. In the stillness of silence, we can directly experience the liberating power of introspection and meditation, allowing the mind to reset and naturally become more spacious and clear.
This retreat offers a powerful opportunity to build confidence in meditation and to carry that inner peace into daily life. You will leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and inspired, with tools you can return to again and again.
Suitable for all levels, this retreat is especially supportive for those new to meditation.
