Meditation invites you to awaken to your wholeness, to what is undeniable yet often ignored because of its simplicity. At this retreat you will learn to bring your loving presence, curiosity, and self-compassion to meet sensations, emotions, core beliefs, and memories that otherwise hold you hostage. When we stop resisting our experience in everyday life and bring skillful means to meet each moment, our underlying ease of Being and Essential Nature are able to shine forth to reveal our wholeness.
Using guided iRest® yoga nidra meditation, silent sitting, interactive dialogue, and gentle movement and breathing techniques imparting deep relaxation, Stephanie Lopez offers accessible practices that reveal your essential nature. Meditative self-inquiry permeates every offering and moment of retreat. Learn transformational practices promoting health, resilience, well-being, and awakening at all levels of your humanity, including:
- A comprehensive map for every stage of meditation
- Practices supporting healing the life issues and limiting core beliefs you bring to meditation
- Meditations that nourish inherent qualities of essential nature such as love, curiosity, compassion, equanimity, joy, and wonder
- An understanding of how to integrate meditation into daily life
Join Stephanie to explore what is alive and essential in each of us – an underlying stillness and unshakeable ease of Being and Awareness that is here during every moment of life.
