Wisdom Retreats
Wisdom Retreats are immersive contemplative experiences that enable you to engage with the Wisdom Practices in depth, guided by an experienced facilitator.
Each retreat is intended to help you attune to your heart’s perceptivity and refine your receptivity to Living Presence, supporting your conscious participation in the field of divine love and mercy.
In this way, each retreat is in service of your ongoing communion with and embodiment of Living Presence and your stabilization within this unitive field.
Each Retreat is designed around one or more of the Wisdom Practices, with an emphasis on practice and a corresponding, complementary balance of illuminating teachings, intentional rest, and reflection.
The daily rhythm of longer retreats is often conducted within silence to nourish the deepening of your practice and your attunement to your unfolding experience.
Wisdom Retreats can vary in length from half-day, to full-day, to multiple-day formats.
Awakening to heart perception, embodying Presence
Upcoming Wisdom Retreat ~ October 2025
-
Opening to Wisdom
Venue: Waihōanga River Lodge & Retreat
Dates: October 18 – October 22, 2025
Join me for this spring-time retreat ~ an opportunity to engage with each of the Wisdom practices over a number of days in the beautiful sanctuary of Waihōanga and in the presence of a warm-hearted community.
On each day of the retreat you’ll be guided through the practices of contemplation, attunement and compassionate inquiry, gently fostering your sensory receptivity to the Living Presence of Spirit and getting to know your capacity for consciously embodying this Presence.
Your daily engagement with the practices will be supported and balanced by periods of teaching, conscious movement, intentional rest and personal reflection, and there’ll also be plenty of time for you to commune with the natural life of Waihōanga, including the Otaki river, pictured in the image above, which is within easy walking distance of the lodge.
