Mindful Living: Teachings and Practices from Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

August 7–10, 2025

Drala Mountain Center

with Janet Solyntjes

Inspired by the teachings of Jon Kabat-Zinn, this 3-day retreat offers both an introduction and a deepening experience of mindfulness, for being more fully present to our lives. Various tools for engaging the demands of our lives and for supporting inquiry into fundamental health and wholeness will be drawn from MBSR — the most universal expression of mindfulness.

Through embodied practices of stillness and movement — including sitting meditation, mindful yoga, mindful eating, and awareness in nature — the ongoing practice of being present to life will be further supported by periods of silence.

The Fullness of Being: A Silent Mindfulness Meditation Retreat

September 26th – October 1st, 2025

Karmê Chöling Retreat Center in Vermont

with Janet Solyntjes and Rebecca Eldridge

“Fullness of being” refers to living life authentically, able and content to be fully who we are. One way to discover and experience such fullness of being is through the path of mindfulness meditation—a path that strengthens our human capacities for openness, deep caring, resilience, insight, and more. The practice of silent meditation has been encouraged throughout time in many contemplative traditions as a way to reconnect us with our unconditional confidence, natural wakefulness, and inherent goodness.
