We have our first online Circle coming up this Tuesday the 1st, 12-1:30 EDT. (More on that in a second. Check out our Google Calendar or MeetUp for more info.)

But first!

After our last immersive, we knew we wanted our next one to be longer. We wanted even more seclusion and an even greater invitation to depth. But where could we do this?

We asked around. Looked high and low. And just this weekend, we finally stepped foot on its grounds.

Called the Mountain Light Retreat, it’s an old mission church nestled in the arms of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

So, I would like to formally invite you to:

Fall Circling Retreat: Live the Mystic Heart of the Practice
Friday, October 16 – Sunday, October 18

Buy Tickets Here (there is an early bird discount running right now)

Three days, two nights, and six delicious meals are all included.

Plus, you’ll get:

  • a coaching call to prepare you for deep practice

  • readings from the mystical and contemplative tradition to nourish your Circling

  • training at the retreat for grounding the practice in your spiritual path (no matter what your spiritual path is)

There are seemingly endless amenities:

  • a gorgeous old church for Circling, teaching, and practice activities

  • beautiful housing (including four private rooms, but those will book quickly so act fast)

  • stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains

  • an indoor and outdoor labyrinth

  • a nature trail

  • a fire pit

  • a cafeteria and industrial kitchen

If you want to come, you should buy tickets early. You’ll save $50 if you get them before September 15th.

So, once again: Buy Tickets Here!
