Cactus & Lotus Wellness Retreat 2: Nature, Meditation, Art – A Deeper Look

Nature • Meditation • Art:
A Deeper Look

Register now: early bird deadline is August 23, 2024

Journey beyond the cacti of life to feed your inner lotus! Join nature inspired professional artist, traditionally trained yoga educator and longtime meditation practitioner, Diana Chabros, to explore within and without, the vast expanse that is grasslands and the boundless heart/mind each of us is gifted with. Using the techniques of reflective walking in grasslands (a simple intentional assignment will be provided to registrants upon arrival), simple breath techniques and visualization meditations, plus intuitive process painting to further deepen emerging insights, participants will explore their relationship with the land, themselves and other beings through the lens of four immeasurable (or boundless) qualities; loving kindness, equanimity, compassion, and sympathetic joy. We’ll also learn how the witness lens can support us amidst global and personal change

To gaze gently at our prickly aspects and peer into the pond of personal inquiry is to discover what’s holding us back. Our inner lotus awaits! Rich benefits for a lifetime will be reaped from learning these humble yet profound take-away practices. No meditation or painting experience necessary. All materials supplied.
