WOW!!\nIt was so beautiful.\nIt was just wonderful meditation the whole time\, I even stayed meditating after.” \n“Definitely\, more of these mini meditation retreats are needed!\nThey are a must. So much Shakti\, so much.\nOm Namah Shivaya”   \n“This retreat is a deep\, immersive journey into spiritual practice—a powerful\nopportunity to deepen your relationship with awareness and practice\nwitnessing your thoughts and movements without identification. The session\nfocuses on using meditation to know your true\, infinite nature\, not just for\nrelaxation or stress management. Through guided meditation\, chanting\, and\nteachings\, you’ll explore the nature of consciousness as the unifying light\nbehind all of life’s experiences\, with Lawrence pointing toward a freedom that\ncan become available whether we are sitting in meditation or navigating the\nchallenges of daily life.”    \n“I relish any opportunity to gather with you and other lovers of the Divine in your retreats and courses!” \n“Doing the retreat at home really strengthened the feeling of my home as a refuge and sanctuary.  And I didn’t have to leave it at the end of the retreat!” \nRegistration is required to receive the zoom link. Please email info@thesoulsjourney.com to register. \nThe fee is your donation.  Giving generously is itself a sacred practice call dana in the Buddhist tradition.  Practice to your heart’s content!  To donate via Venmo: @ACMeditation\, or through PayPal: paypal.me/drle.
