About this Event
Healing On The Battlefield invites us to step courageously into the terrain of our own lives...the places where joy and ache meet, where clarity collides with confusion, where peace is interrupted by the storms we carry. In a world that often demands armor, perfection, and unshakable certainty, this mindfulness retreat offers a sanctuary to lay our burdens down and tend to what is wounded, weary, or waiting to be seen.
Through guided meditation, embodied awareness, and a community grounded in compassion, we will explore what it means to stand gently in the midst of our internal battles without judgment, without rushing to fix, trusting that even in the conflict there is wisdom, meaning, and profound humanity.
In community, this retreat space is an invitation to return to yourself , learning to heal in the very places where life has asked you to be strong.Facilitated by Rashid Hughes and Mama Ayesha Ali, this Heart Refuge gathering invites you into practices that center the body, nourish the nervous system, and awaken the heart. Through guided meditation, sound healing, sacred reflections, mindful movement, and circle sharing, we will explore how awareness begins with deep connection to ourselves, and how, from that rooted presence, we begin to feel into our greater interconnectedness.
This retreat is grounded in the truth that mindfulness does not elevate us out of our humanity, it brings us into a loving relationship with it. Belonging is not something we earn through perfection or performance. It is a courageous practice of choosing ourselves, choosing each other, and choosing to be here, as we are.
