This sonorous meditative experience brings you into alignment with the radiant wellbeing of your entire being - body, mind and soul. The event begins with gentle mindful movement to release bodily tensions and cultivate somatic awareness combined with guided meditation to bring you into full presence. Then Cindy creates a full 45-minute soundscape using multiple singing bowls, chimes, vocals, and soulfully resonant viola music to offer you a deliciously vibratory experience.

Jan. 16, 2025
Online Via Zoom
These gatherings will include a time to check in with each other, periods of guided or semi-guided meditation, communal reading and study of useful texts by respected meditation teachers, followed by discussion and inquiry. We are currently listening to Zen Master/Activist/Poet Thich Nhat Hanh’s wonderful audiobook The Art of Mindful Living: How to Bring Love, Compassion, and Inner Peace into Your Daily Life. Thich Nhat Hanh offers us such a refreshing perspective — and his voice alone is like a balm to the soul!
Celebrating Relationship: A Mother-Daughter Women’s Retreat
SPRING 2025
Dates TBD
Join me for this special weekend as we celebrate the unique bonds between mothers and daughters. Breathe, Laugh, Love! That’s what we’ll be doing together: breathing together through yoga, laughing as we share stories and engage in special mother/daughter activities (including some fun games!), and loving as we deepen our bonds and understanding of each other through contemplative activities and just spending time together in beautiful sacred space.
This retreat is designed for adults, although mature teens are welcome, too. And yes, step daughter/step-mother, grandmother/granddaughter, godmother/goddaughter, and other unique ‘mothering/daughtering’ pairings are welcome!
