A brilliant, inner world is waiting to be discovered when we open our senses to nature. Join contemplative ecologist Donna Williams and Tai Chi teacher Joseph Pascutazz for a spacious retreat in the wilds of Karmê Chöling, where the living forest meets and awakens the mind.

Slow down and let the present moment unfold its wonders — the music of Stevens River, the alertness of deer in high grass, or the sight of your reflection in the eye of a salamander. Open to Earth’s energy, which cuts through concepts and returns us to our inherent, natural sanity.

Through Tai Chi, we will work with the five senses as they manifest as Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Wood. Through movement, alignment, and visualization we will reconnect with the primordial energies of nature.

There will be tasty meals, foraging, energetic postures and movement, outdoor meditations, spontaneous walks and pleasant conversation. Leave with a sense of restoration and invigoration.

We are also offering this as a Meditation-in-Nature 6-Day Retreat.
