Upcoming Events

Meditations with Nature
Half-day retreats and workshops are now being scheduled for spring through fall 2026. Please join us in the peaceful garden and old-growth piñon-juniper forest for meditations to deepen your practice and your connection with Nature. Each event is limited to 12 people.
Due to potential weather extremes from climate chaos, events may need to be postponed. If you cannot attend an alternate date, or if an event needs to be cancelled, registration will be refunded.
For all events, please wear sun protection, sturdy walking shoes, and bring a walking stick or poles if you have any balance or vision considerations.
