A Peaceful Mind and Heart
Meditative Awareness Retreats and Programs
Our essential aim is to encounter the silent awareness that brings us wholeness, compassion and peace.
September 2025 - Retreat and Meditative Inquiry
Stillness, Inner Peace, Meditative Inquiry
Sometimes a retreat with a focus on stillness, inner peace and self-inquiry is exactly what we need. It gives us a break from our daily routines and a unique opportunity to explore inner questions and rest mind, body and spirit in quietude.
Give yourself the gift of a few days of quietude, renewal and meditative inquiry at an ocean front retreat on 33 acres with walking trails and a private beach. Two retreats are scheduled in Victoria, BC at the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada. 7 Day and 4 Day Retreats. September 16 - 30.
When you are a light to yourself, you are a light to the world.
