Body of Awakening
With Eugene Cash and Pamela Weiss
May 30 - June 6, 2026
This retreat will focus on being intimate with the living body of awakening. We’ll explore the living aliveness of our human body, the living body of the earth, and the communality of all living bodies both vegetative and sentient. Through meditation and compassion we’ll awaken to the magic and mystery of being alive.
This silent retreat is suitable for both new and experienced practitioners.
Be aware that while all lodging options have a propane heater, the Tent Cabins and Yurts tend to be colder than the Casitas during the shoulder season. Please select your lodging accordingly.
