This Annual Mindfulness, Movement and Meditation Retreat began in 2012.
Dhamma is all things all the time so on this retreat while engaging in gentle yoga and QiGong practices, walking, sitting, sound and art meditations we will be weaving the thread of mindfulness and noticing our attitudes in relationship to all of them.

There will be an opportunity to give Dana to Denise at the end of the retreat. The Teacher is supported in her work by Dana (donation) for this retreat and her livelihood is completely sustained by the generosity of the communities she serves. Dana (donation) for these priceless teachings will be gratefully accepted by the teacher and staff, giving participants the opportunity to freely engage in the practice of generosity, the first step toward freedom. Volunteering to help set up before the retreat and assist in clean up at the end are also acts of generosity.
