IN PERSON RETREAT!

The Pathways of Ego Transcendence

This is an in-person retreat appropriate for both new and experienced practitioners.

Ego transcendence occurs when an individual attains a state of consciousness wherein the burdens of one’s personal history, fears, concerns are released, allowing each moment to be experienced from a transpersonal perspective.

The perceptions of being alone and separate from others vanishes, replaced by a lightness of being and a relaxed awareness. 

This retreat will focus on four different pathways to the transcendent:

1) Meditation practices that induce states of concentration and easeful being, an internal state of silence

2) Interpersonal connection with others, where we focus on bonding based on universal feelings, emotions and existential concerns

3) Somatic experiencing allows one to “drop the story of one’s individual self’ via awareness of the body and cultivating a felt sense of safety in the nervous system

4) Skillful Reflections and Cognitive Tools that point to ways to navigate life and work through challenges without being mired in self-centered fear

We will also offer yoga/movement taught by Lindsey Liberatore.
