Antara Retreat

Rock and debris will eventually slow down or block the current of a river. To help a river flow more freely, we remove whatever is impeding its flow. Similarly, the source of true nourishment lies within us, not in the external world, and is always available to us. However, it is often hard to know this, because our access to this bounty is often obscured. This retreat is an opportunity to anchor to a deeper substratum within, finding an inner place where we can begin to take refuge. Together, we work with the obstacles that are in the way of our relationship to the interconnected substratum at the core of our being ~ our most essential self. We begin where you are. You are both the portal to the sacred and sacred. We work with whatever you bring to the table ~ your faith or lack of it, your lineage or rejection of lineage, your relationships, work, disappointments, struggles, dreams, recurring themes or images, and the ground of your everyday life. Inner work does not happen overnight. It is a process, a commitment, and ultimately a gift. When we sit together and deepen our commitment to ourselves and each other, we develop resilience in the face of uncertainty and we move closer to the true Source of all that we long for ~ compassion, joy, peace, harmony, hope, integrity, humility and true service.
