It is such an astonishing thing
to realize what is inside of us,
and to spend a few days cultivating
the living experience of that
by directing our energy to this source of  joy.

- Paul Muller-Ortega

Maṇḍalas of practice are meditation retreats. During maṇḍalas of practices, we reflect on precious sacred teachings on consciousness to clarify our understanding of the Self, our practices, our life and path. Over the course of several days, we meditate more often, perform gentle asana, take walks in nature, and perform a variety of other supportive practices. Together, and in combination, these practices support the process of eliminating that which stands in the way of deeper knowledge and the expansion of consciousness. Over the course of the retreat, the sequence of practices become a maṇḍala, a circle, or a cycle which is becomes potently complete, whole and powerful. This serves to refresh our daily practice and shift and light up our perspective of life. Join us for this precious time devoted to practice.
