Simple Life 101:
Peace + Tools to Take it Home

Our Silent Retreats have become a retreat that we are known for based on our unique blend of classes in yoga, simple meditation and Self-Breema exercises. For those with the desire to go deeper into their practice and/or create a strong foundation in meditative arts, this experience offers the most support. Both challenging and liberating, our Silent Retreats provide a lot of classtime and the immersion in nature that our guests have grown to love.

Retreats in Peru
Dave and Alana are leading retreats again next summer in the Sacred Valley of Peru, a rich and amazingly beautiful place on this planet!
Links to Details below
True Nature in The Sacred Valley July 19-27
Sacred Valley Breema Retreat Aug. 7-18
We intentionally keep our retreats small. The intimacy of providing private classes with individuals, couples or small groups allows us to offer unique support that best serves our guests. Dave brings his background in Soto Zen and Breema: The Art of Being Present, plus his experience as a massage therapist and bodyworker since 1997. Alana provides meditation instruction rooted in her extensive yogic practice, also going back to 1997, and teaches asana in a way that meets each person where he or she is. Read more about us.
We have three areas that we use for classes. The first is our deck beside the pond, surrounded by trees, open sky and singing birds. The second is our many-windowed indoor classroom, which is carpeted and blessed by the inner work of hundreds of people who have come here. The third is another indoor space that we also use for treatments and our gallery space. Treatments are sometimes done outside on the deck, but more often in the treatment room. Meals are brought to you, either at your lodging location or outside. Guests staying in the Green Suite have a private bathroom with shower. For restroom facilities for other lodgers, we have our outside shower (yes, plenty of hot water) which gives you an uplifting experience with the sky as your roof. Its grey water system is simple and kind to the earth. Our two outdoor composting toilet cabins are not your old-fashioned outhouses, but include a state-of-the-art system (See Sunmar) that is both clean and odorless. Lodging is included in the retreats listed below, and the options are comfortable, simple and unique. Read about lodging options here.
