We will be joining our sister sangha, Wild Rose Sangha (Calgary) and Plum Village Lay Dharma Teacher, Alexa Singer-Telles for a residential retreat in Canmore, AB:

Join us in the heart of the Rocky Mountains to be embraced by the freshness of spring unfolding and  nourished by the practices of mindful meditation.  Our retreat will be spacious, with times of sitting and walking; silence and connection, creative play, and the opportunity to slow down to deepen our awareness of the preciousness of each moment.  We will explore the seven factors of awakening, mindfulness, investigation, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity.  We will come fresh to the mindful practice of meeting each moment in an open and curious way to awaken to the wonders and beauty of life and the joy of coming together once again in person. Stay tuned for more retreat details and registration information.
