About this Event

Living Happily in the Present Moment A Half-Day Retreat for Rediscovering Joy and Peace

Why This Matters Now

In our hyperconnected world, we're constantly pulled between regrets about yesterday and anxieties about tomorrow. We scroll through our phones, replay past conversations, and worry about future scenarios—all while missing the only moment we truly have: right now. This constant mental time-traveling leaves us exhausted, disconnected, and unable to experience the richness of our actual lives.

What You'll Discover

Through a carefully curated series of mindfulness practices, you'll discover how to bring full awareness to every aspect of your life:

  • Guided Meditations – Learn to observe your thoughts without judgment and anchor yourself in the present moment
  • Walking Meditation – Transform simple movement into a profound practice of presence, finding stillness even in motion
  • Eating Meditation – Awaken your senses and discover the richness we miss when we rush through meals mindlessly
  • Mindful Movement – Reconnect with your body's wisdom and release stored tension through gentle awareness
  • Cultivating Joy and Happiness Meditation – Shift your mental patterns toward contentment through specific techniques that actively generate well-being
  • Loving-Kindness Infused Deep Relaxation – Experience deep rest while cultivating compassion for yourself and others, allowing your nervous system to fully restore
  • Simple daily practices you can integrate into your routine immediately

These aren't just exercises for the retreat—they're practical tools you'll carry into your daily life, transforming ordinary moments into opportunities for peace, presence, and genuine happiness.

The Benefits You'll Experience

When you learn to live in the present moment, you unlock:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety – letting go of what you can't control
  • Enhanced clarity and focus – directing energy where it matters
  • Deeper connections with others and yourself
  • Greater appreciation for life's simple pleasures
  • Improved decision-making – responding wisely rather than reacting automatically
  • Genuine peace and contentment – independent of external circumstances

The present moment isn't an escape from life—it's where life actually happens. Give yourself this gift.
