I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news with you all! Henrik Norberg, a fellow certified teacher of The Mind Illuminated (TMI), and I will be co-leading a meditation retreat this coming winter at Dharma Treasure, nestled in the serene Cochise Stronghold, Arizona. The retreat will happen from January 14th to January 21st 2025.

This retreat will take place towards the end of my 3-month stay at Dharma Treasure, where my partner and I will have the honor of co-managing the meditation center.

What makes this retreat special? While TMI’s core framework will be our guide, we are incorporating alternative objects of meditation—so there will be much more than just focusing on the breath, even for earlier-stage practitioners! We’re also adding practices beyond traditional sitting meditation, including a variety of off-the-cushion exercises to support mindfulness in daily life. Set against the tranquil backdrop of Cochise Stronghold, this retreat offers an ideal setting for immersing in mindfulness, where the natural beauty and stillness of the environment enhance the transformative daily life practices and off-the-cushion meditative work. These additions are something I’m particularly excited about, as they truly enrich the meditative experience, and my experience, speed up progress along the stages.

We’ve just opened bookings for the retreat on Eventbrite, so if you’re interested in deepening your practice in a supportive, immersive environment, please check out the details here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/augmenting-the-mind-illuminated-tickets-1044265334727.
