You’ll learn the best times to meditate and how to sit comfortably in a position that works for your body, whether on a chair, cushion, or with props, so physical discomfort doesn’t stand in the way of your peace.

Relax Into Nature’s Embrace

Breathe deeply in our serene forest setting. Wander peaceful trails, journal by Lotus Lake, or simply rest in the silence. Our 750 acres of nature will help you reset your nervous system and reconnect with your true self.
