An 8-day Metta & Medicine Retreat

Throughout this retreat, you’ll be invited into a profound journey of the heart, supported by three sacred plant medicine ceremonies, daily meditation, yoga, and the timeless wisdom of the Buddhist teachings. This is an opportunity to slow down, turn inward, and open to the boundless compassion and awakened heart of the great Bodhisattva Tara. Through these practices, we create space for deep healing, self-discovery, and a more intimate connection with the love and wisdom that live within us.

Each day begins with grounding meditation and yoga, followed by Dharma talks and heart-centered practices that invite us to explore the nature of compassion, forgiveness, and our interconnectedness with all life. In daily healing circles, we gather in the spirit of community, sharing our experiences, listening deeply, and supporting one another with tenderness and care. Surrounded by the beauty of the natural world, you’ll also have time for quiet walks, reflection, and journaling, allowing the insights and experiences of the retreat to settle into the heart.

For many, this kind of journey becomes a life-changing experience an invitation to soften the places within us that have grown guarded, reconnect with our deepest truth, and discover a love that extends far beyond ourselves. Inspired by Tara’s boundless compassion and fearless commitment to the liberation of all beings, we will explore what it means to live with a more open heart and to embody compassion in our everyday lives.

Come join us for this sacred journey into the Great Heart. Whether you arrive seeking healing, clarity, spiritual renewal, or a deeper connection with the sacred, you’ll be welcomed into a loving community devoted to awakening the heart. Together, we will create the conditions for profound transformation, remembering that the healing of our own hearts and the liberation of all beings are inseparable.
