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.
Retreats and Meditative Inquiry Programs
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.
When you are a light to yourself, you are a light to the world.
