Register for The Forgotten Power of Awareness (Online)

Registration is open.

This is the ONLINE component of the retreat. If you’d like to register for the RESIDENTIAL component, please click here.

Awareness is the source of everything.
It is everything.
It is a very part of everything.
And it is beyond everything.
It is not anything, yet it is not nothing.
It’s not a thing, yet still very much is.
That is why, in one way or another, the awareness is the main practice.
We try to clarify or realize the awareness –
that which we already are, the unborn, unmade awareness.

Join yogi Brendan Kennedy in a hands-on exploration of the nature of Awareness. Brendan’s meditation instructions and teachings are accessible and powerfully transformative for deepening our practice and exploring our innermost nature.

Brendan’s retreats are based on experiential learning to decondition the mind so it can start to be what it is; so it can start to be itself. Through practicing and clarifying together, Brendan guides us to look at what gets in the way of being who we truly are. This approach supports each of us toward freedom and from the trappings of ego.

• A Middle Way – covering the base cost
• Held in Sangha Loving-kindness – offering ease when financial resources are limiting

Our pricing options are based primarily on the length and type of an event and are intended to give you an idea of the costs involved. The amounts listed are suggestions. You may write in any amount that fits your financial situation. Any amount offered above the Middle Way level will be considered a tax-deductible donation and will be acknowledged as such in writing.
