livestream | 10:00am-1:00pm

Slowing down, being silent and drawing inwards are vital for mental and spiritual well-being. In this brief meditation retreat, we will combine our breathing with the mental recitation of the mantra OM AH HUM, which is called the “Mantra of all Buddhas.” This retreat will provide a nourishing opportunity to go inwards, relax, and feel deeply connected to the potential for limitless peace and well-being that exists within you. You can view this retreat as a gift you give to yourself and others because the time spent contemplating and meditating helps you advance and make progress in your practice, which helps you be kinder, more patient and more compassionate towards others.

Everyone is welcome.
