About this retreat
An invitation to come home to yourself.
“Altars” can be physical spaces honoring ancestors, but they can also mean the place within us where we have cultivated to be a sanctuary in the midst of our lives. In this daylong, we'll explore refuge as a living practice. Through guided meditation, collective-inquiry, and embodied practice, we'll connect with the sacred objects that hold meaning for us and rest in the care of the guardians who accompany us through life’s challenges and joys.
