This daylong meditation retreat offers a deeply nourishing opportunity to unplug, slow down, and reconnect through the Buddha's first foundation of mindfulness — the body. Grounded in trauma-informed principles and open to all, the day weaves together Dharma teachings, guided meditation, and accessible mindful movement. Together we will explore how we focus our attention — learning to anchor in sensation, track internal experience with curiosity, and widen awareness when needed — cultivating steadiness and resilience from the inside out. Through intentional pauses, embodied inquiry, and compassionate presence, participants are invited to shift from patterns of surviving toward a felt sense of thriving, leaving with practical tools to ground, regulate, and return to the wisdom of the body in daily life.

Registration is required. Space is limited to 40 in-person attendees. Your donation at the time of registration will go to support both the teachers and the Assaya Sangha. We are grateful for your generosity, and we also understand if you are unable to donate at this time. No one is turned away due to a lack of funds. This event is for self-identified women only. Chairs will be provided, but we recommend bringing a yoga mat and a small throw blanket for the movement portions of the day. If you are in need of a mat, please let us know, and we'll provide you with one.
