The Winter Heart of the New Saint Retreat
December 6-10th, 2023
Location: Southern Dharma Retreat Center in NC
Winter represents a season when we are called inward to rest, restore, and reflect on the labor of the year. It can be a difficult time as we may struggle with grief, isolation, fear, and the ambiguity of light’s precarious balance with darkness. If we ground ourselves in practice, this season can become a powerful foundation for our liberation from the illusion of duality which invites us into a profound relationship to the nature space and the clarity spaciousness offers us.
