Burnout happens when our body and mind don’t have adequate recovery from all the action. Pushing on the gas pedal for extended periods can leave us buzzing with exhaustion and yet unable to rest deeply. And let’s face it, it’s impossible to be excited about life when we are depleted and exhausted, no matter how much you love what you do. Deep Recovery can help you rest, release, and recharge so you go back home feeling rejuvenated and with the skills to help maintain a state of inner resourcefulness.

Meditation is part of our survival instinct, a way to access rest and relaxation deeper than sleep. In this weekend workshop, you will learn about a variety of doorways into meditation that have proved useful for people living in the modern world, who have busy, responsible lives, who want to learn how to access deep rest.

There are thousands of different techniques of meditation. We will explore several that have been extensively researched scientifically, are pleasurable and effortless to practice, and can be easily done at home.

We will explore different ways to enter a meditative state so you can find what feels effortless and natural to you. In this rejuvenating weekend, you will…

  • Learn the skills to maintain a state of inner resourcefulness in your everyday life.
  • Discover some simple skills of meditation that you can share with others.
  • Have ample personal time for integration and for being held by nature at your leisure.

We have found that everyone can meditate. It is a matter of accommodating your individuality. We will show you how to modify techniques to suit your nature, and practice how to share the gift of meditation with others. And on Sunday, our intention is for you to return to your life having been held in the nourishing current of the life force, and restored by it.
