Refresher Silent Retreat Day: creativity happens now
October 10th 2026 10 Am - 4 Pm
Retreats, whether for a day or several days, offer a wonderful opportunity to turn our attention away from the distractions of modern life and toward the full aliveness and creative potential available through deep presence. The insights that emerge through periods of silence and contemplative practice can help us live more consciously and creatively when we return to our everyday lives. Beyond this, retreat can open a space to explore deeper questions about who we are and the nature of our being.
During this retreat, I look forward to exploring the ways in which our silent meditation and movement practices can spark creativity and passion, both in and for life.
