We invite you to explore a unique opportunity to practice, reflect, and collaborate in community by co-creating our first in-person Sangha-Led Silent Retreat.
First Planning Meeting
📅 February 22nd at 11:30am ET
If you were unable to attend the recent information session, no worries.
🎧 A recording from Sunday is available. Please listen prior to attending the planning meeting.
The information session was designed for anyone curious about what a Sangha-Led Retreat is, how it works, and whether participating in or co-creating one feels aligned. It explored the purpose, format, and spiritual potential of our first-ever in-person Sangha-Led Silent Retreat.
Interested in Attending the First Planning Meeting?
The next step if you are exploring whether this retreat is right for you is to attend the first planning meeting. 2-3 planning meetings will be scheduled.
During the first meeting, participants will engage in open discussion about what the retreat might entail. Afterward, attendees will be invited to reflect on whether they wish to commit to attending the retreat and submit a deposit.
All are welcome. Your voice matters.
About the In-Person Sangha-Led Silent Retreat
This retreat would be collaboratively created and led by the Sangha, offering a shared space for silence, spiritual practice, and connection at the Awakening Together Retreat House in La Veta, Colorado.
Silence may include many expressions, such as meditation, hiking, dyads, stillness, contemplation, and the simple joy of being. These are examples — the actual retreat will be shaped by those participating.
Purpose of Sangha-Led Retreats
Sangha-led retreats invite participants to cultivate humility, surrender, and trust through lived experience. By learning directly from what arises in real time, participants deepen personal realization while contributing to the shared spiritual growth of the community.
In this way, we embody the core qualities of an effective sangha:
-
Living the spiritual teachings
-
Sharing from authentic experience
-
Supporting one another on the spiritual path
