Why Retreat?
Retreat is a vital act of kindness to ourselves, in that it gives us time and space to feel and deeply inquire into, how we are being or not being with this one precious life. Time to grow our capacity to stay close to our hearts, grow deeper into our awareness and serve life from a solid foundation of knowing one’s self. Retreat supports our capacity to stay curious and grow trust in receiving support from a community that is willing to be vulnerable together and grow compassionately in this awkward dance of becoming adult human beings.
"Alaya's profound reverence for the natural world and healthy eating shine brightly. This retreat wasn't even focused on our relationship to food and drink, yet I found myself eating so much cleaner the weeks following the retreat; drastically reducing my intake of alcohol and heavier foods. It has been a really welcomed reset."
–SM, 2022 Retreat Participant
“To encounter our human body is to encounter the natural world. We tend to forget that we are mammalian primates! The closer we come to the body, the closer we draw to the truth of our own wildness. This connects us to the planetary wildness that we aspire to protect.”
Lama Willa B. Miller
