28 & 44 Day AllOne Time Solo Wilderness Retreats
The 28 and 44 Day AllOne Time Retreat provides a superb opportunity to cultivate the authentic experience and realization of one's essential union with Gaia (Mother Earth) and to enter into the direct experience of Primordial Source Awareness. It involves significant time alone, AllOne, in nature. With this amount of time away from human culture: technology, society, family, and friends - you get a rare opportunity to relax, enter deep presence, experience your True Nature and open your heart to receive and emit profound love for All of Life.
