The heart of Autumn 2026
A three-month Meditation-in-Action retreat.
For 90 days, we will commit to practice together—forming a meditation habit with a sangha, a group, and accountability buddies who help us return, deepen, and bring presence into everyday life.
Practice With Sangha
Commit alongside people who understand the resistance, the quiet breakthroughs, and the life you are trying to build.
Stay Accountable
Make the commitment real through accountability buddies, human connection, encouragement, and compassionate follow-through.
Live From Presence
Carry the practice into work, relationships, hard moments, and the ordinary beauty of daily life—until peace becomes less of an escape and more of a home.
