Boundaries Alongside Boundlessness (Hybrid)

This Hybrid retreat is offered in person at Wonderwell (Residential option) and Live via Zoom (Online option). To Register, please choose one of the options in the YELLOW panel.

To truly embody our yes to life, we must equally honor our no. Liberating our hearts and minds and taking responsibility for our contribution to consciousness requires both fierce and gentle compassion.

In this embodied meditation retreat, we draw from the wisdom streams of Zen Buddhism, somatic inquiry, EcoDharma, and conscious movement/dance. By learning to set conscious boundaries within our own minds and habits, we create the conditions to listen deeply to the still small voice within and reclaim authentic authorship of our lives.

Through relational practice, meditation, and embodied inquiry — and by letting go of projecting authority onto conditioned beliefs and external expectations — we remember and reclaim a wider, more life-affirming field of possibility.

Please join us to 

• Restore through the boundless nature of spacious awareness
• Recognize the body as guide and truth-teller
• Deepen your attunement to the inner compass
• Learn to set conscious, compassionate boundaries
• Express Yes and No with courage and skill
• Reconnect with a wider, more life-affirming field of possibility

Boundaries Alongside Boundlessness offers an embodied, honest, heart-opening, and non-dual exploration of setting skillful, compassionate boundaries when it serves Life. This life-affirming work is not about replacing yes with no. We can only remember the boundless love that we are by embracing the full spectrum of our humanity.

This work begins by learning to set conscious boundaries within our own minds and habits in order to affirm authentic being and true nature. Only when we listen deeply — with devotion and attunement — to the still small voice within can we take genuine and emergent authorship of our lives. By continually letting go of projecting authority onto conditioned beliefs and the perceived expectations of others, we remember a wider and more life-affirming field of possibility.

Embodied meditation teaches us how to skillfully express Yes and No, yin and yang, courage and receptivity, conscious allowing and conscious protection. Recognizing the body as guide and truth-teller, this retreat is an invitation to deepen our attunement with the inner compass. It offers permission to slow down and savor that which speaks to us somatically, invisibly, energetically, through intuition and relational forms of knowing.

This retreat bridges personal and collective liberation.

The retreat includes sitting meditation, walking meditation, relational mindfulness, somatic awareness practices, dharma talks and inquiry, and conscious dance. You do not need to be a dancer to participate, nor do you need years of meditation experience. All are welcome.
