7-DAY RETREAT AND PERSONAL STUDY PROGRAM in Victoria, BC
MAY 2024 RETREAT - 7 Days at an ocean front setting.
Being on retreat in a quiet setting in nature is a wonderful way to relax and renew our energy and vitality. It's also a way of exploring a much deeper awareness that helps us connect with our purpose in life.
Join me for a 7 Day retreat and personal study program anytime during the month of May in a beautiful, ocean front setting at the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada in Victoria. There is flexibility in dates because you choose which week in May you'd like to be on retreat and then create your own personal study program. I'll be in residence at this serene retreat center for the month of May to facilitate and to meet with you as part of your retreat.
In a friendly and supportive atmosphere, you can relax and unwind on 32 acres of ocean front property and engage with aware living and meditative inquiry. This is a place where you can rest, rejuvenate and quietly look at a new way of living in the world. The cost of staying at this beautiful place is modest and each room has its own private bath.
In this serenely quiet setting, you can walk in the beauty of the trees, in the gardens, or on the pristine beach. Historic downtown Victoria is not far away. The personal study portion of your stay is your own design based on your preferences about aware living, meditation and self-inquiry.

When you are a light to yourself,
you are a light to the world."
