These offerings are educational and supportive in nature and do not include psychotherapy, diagnosis, or treatment of mental health conditions. Sliding scale is available upon request.

These sessions support listening to intuitive knowing, attending to parts of ourselves that have not received the care they deserve, and cultivating wholeness through mindful presence and may include guided interative meditations tapping into the richness of the subconscious mind and a place of deep intuitive knowing.

These offerings are educational and supportive in nature and do not include psychotherapy, diagnosis, or treatment of mental health conditions.

Extended 2 hour sessions offer additional time and spaciousness for deep listening and integration. In addition to reflective listening and discernment, these sessions may include—depending on time, interest, and what is most alive—interactive guided meditation and either a somatic-based inquiry or an expressive and creative process. The extended format allows for a more gradual unfolding, supporting presence, embodiment, and meaningful integration within a held and attentive space.

We are delighted to return to the precious land at the Rain on Snow Retreat Center for this silent, nature-based Vipassana meditation retreat. This retreat offers a precious opportunity to slow down, attune to the rhythms of the natural world, and explore practices of deep listening—to both our inner nature and the world around us.
