yoga nidra: the landscape of me

We begin with a gentle survey of the inner landscape, asking ourselves, How am I in this moment? We then consciously release the weight of the body, sensing how much tension it holds. As we do, we may notice the breath naturally deepening and flowing more freely, feeling its gentle caress without any need to […]

supine bodysensing practice

Settling Into Stillness: 4-day Silent, Non-dual Retreat

We share intimate silence to unplug, practice and simply be. The retreat offers guided walks through the desert; gatherings in community for quiet sitting, walking meditation, body and breath sensing, chant, yoga nidra, and inquiry dyads; plus, ample free time for contemplation, rest, individual study and integration in the calm stillness of the Sonoran Desert.

yoga nidra: witnessing the witness

Yoga nidra begins where doing ends. This practice invites a shift from habitual doing to simply being, in which sensing becomes the bridge to stillness. As effort softens, we begin to rest in the mystery of awareness itself — encountering the paradox of witnessing the witness. The taste of “just before” individuality emerges— simple, natural, […]

yoga nidra: self-consciousness

In the biblical story of Adam and Eve, there is a pivotal moment when self-consciousness arises. Before eating the fruit, the first couple is naked and unashamed—whole, at ease in being. But upon tasting the forbidden fruit, their eyes are opened. They recognize their nakedness, feel exposed, and move swiftly to cover themselves. This marks […]

yoga nidra: here

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones…” so begins Richard Dawkin’s Unweaving the Rainbow. Our practice opens with a reading of the first lines of the book and then flows into exploring the feeling of being here. And Here.

Shared Yearnings: Cross-fertilizing Non-Dual Practices

The retreat will combine classical practices: sitting, walking, breath and body sensing, talks, guided inquiries and dialogues with outdoor practice, chant, movement and poetry.
