Note: Because this is an online retreat, participants are encouraged to find space of relative quiet, limiting the amount of interaction with others in the environment as much as possible. Participants may join by internet or via phone. 

Participants will be given the Zoom link in the registration confirmation email and again via email the week before the course begins.

The focus on intent, self-kindness, and self-compassion enabled me to explore my thoughts and feelings without falling down the rabbit hole of self-condemnation and hopelessness. I smiled a few days last week for no reason.  ~ Janice

Stan is a gifted teacher who hears his students deeply and helps the group bond. The guided meditations were particularly helpful, as were the supporting written materials. But most importantly the course has heart.  ~ Beth

By the end of the course, I found my way of responding to my pain and disability had changed dramatically. And I was feeling better for it—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  ~ Jean

The kindness, patience, and “presence” that Ruth emanates made me feel so calm. I felt she was speaking directly to me and my needs. This is a gift to be able to do this in a class setting in person, but to be able to do this in a zoom class was a true gift. Coming to class met my need for a shared reality, community and togetherness. If it was not for these offerings I would’ve been all alone.  ~ K. Linnea
