A four-day, three-night retreat led by Ven. Pannavati Bhikkhuni and Deepa Patel, at the beautiful Kanuga Conference & Retreat Center in Hendersonville, North Carolina, Thursday January 18 – Sunday January 21, 2024.

This is a time of global spiritual renewal. To be useful, we must discover and activate methods for uncovering our own wisdom. Amidst the hatred, violence, and misery of our world there is emerging a deep shift from the language and energy that have carried us through past generations and ages. We are being called to a life of greater service – to return to the timeless wisdom that is not based on ordinary mind, but on accessing the innate wisdom at the core of our being. 

This retreat will support you as you step into this period.  If you:

• are in spiritual, corporate, or non-profit leadership and undergoing a shift in spiritual direction,
• are leaving behind what you have done and taught before, and feeling alone in the process;
• feel the need to expand the vision of your current spiritual community;
• have  left or are considering leaving your current religious or spiritual tradition;
• are independently birthing your own new or expanded spiritual path;

then please join us for a time of meditation, reflection, self-exploration, and sharing.

In the safe space of this retreat, we will drop into the soil of our deepest personal experience, and give voice to it. In the voices of others, we hear our own voice, and understand the universality of experience.  We are not alone. There are enough visionaries today to usher in the new world we have glimpsed, if we combine forces. 

The retreat will include periods of meditation, contemplative illumination, and facilitated sharing sessions and also includes two follow-up Zoom calls in February and March.

NOTE: Partial scholarships are available for financial assistance, if needed.
