The Living Current Discovering the Nourishing Refuge of Presence and the Open Heart


You were never meant to carry this life alone. There is a current moving beneath the surface of everything, a living intelligence that wants to flow through you, not around you. Life is offering us an invitation to become a vessel: open, embodied, and awake.

What would it feel like if your life were genuinely fed from the inside? Not sustained by effort or willpower, but truly nourished by the quiet intelligence of the body, the warmth of an open heart, and the steady refuge of presence.

This retreat explores the living relationship between the human and the Divine: how to receive that which wants to move through you, how to let it illuminate your inner life, and how to bring its gifts into everything you touch.

Together we will explore what it means to let the Divine move through your full humanity, your body’s wisdom, your heart’s longing, and your mind’s clarity. Drawing on the refuge of awareness, the resource of deep presence, and the illumination of the open heart, we will discover together what it means to be a human life fully lived, grounded in the body, open in the heart, and moved by something greater than ourselves.

Presence becomes not something we practice, but something we live. And from that open heart, we find we can meet the world, its beauty and its difficulty, with genuine care and skillful action.

This is about coming home to the wholeness you already are, and letting that living current flow freely through everything you touch.

We will be held in a field of silence to support deep inward listening, with times for teachings, questions, and shared inquiry woven throughout the retreat.

Come rest in what cannot be shaken. Come let it move through you.

Sliding Scale is available for those experiencing financial hardship. A limited number of reduced rate tickets are available to help make participation possible for those who might not otherwise be able to join.
