I wanted to offer a 'special thanks' for your care, concern and Love for us all. Where else does one go to consider things like forgiveness, generosity, virtue, reflection on what constitutes a meaningful life? It is a rare experience (and I am witnessing it being a treasured one) to see what might really be going on, that we don’t know, and that might just raise enough consciousness to allow for Love to prevail...not the body/mind. 'Tis a fine, fine thing you do for us. Just wanted to express my gratitude and Love. ~ Alfrieda, CA

Within this Retreat, we will enter into the Life that is nothing less than the TONE. It is in this great resonation that we come into the state of being that is beyond the mind and its body…that of LOVE.

This great revelation is: WE ARE THAT!

If you have had enough of yourself and wish to experience that which is true goodness, true Virtue – then join us in the greatest lifetime one can have in nobility LOVE.
