Jon Gabriel
Course 3805-595/Tuition $675 ($610 Members) SS
The Gabriel Method™ is a holistic, mindbody approach to weight loss that focuses on addressing and eliminating the root causes of obesity.
Stress, poor digestion, toxins, dysfunctional beliefs, and chronic yo-yo dieting can cause chemical reactions in the body. By systematically addressing specific triggers, you can reverse this chemistry and regain the ability to lose weight.
When you address the real issues of weight gain, then weight loss is no longer a struggle. You’re simply less hungry, you crave healthier foods, your metabolism speeds up, and you become e cient at burning fat.
Through lectures, discussions, and experiential exercises, we dive deep into the Gabriel Method principles and examine each of the core triggers that cause weight gain, and help you create a balanced and sustainable approach to weight loss that focuses on nourishing and healing your body, mind, and soul.
Several guest speakers join us for sessions throughout the week.

Being Human Takes Practice
A Meditation Retreat for Open-Minded Explorers & Fidgety Skeptics
Jeff Warren
Course 3902-380/Tuition $395 ($355 Members) SS
Explore what meditation teaches us about being human. It teaches us about resistance and over-thinking, about humor and mercy, about healing stuck emotions and expanding stuck views. All this and more happens when we sit and get quiet. It also happens when we sit and don’t get quiet. So, all neurotic brains welcome!
The main teacher is meditation itself, which has a way of organizing the nervous system all on its own. We also learn from other people's reports of their experiences, their insights and challenges, through sharing and discussion.
Every kind of experience can happen on the cushion—our internal processes are as distinct as our fingerprints. The goal is for everyone to return home with a clear understanding of why they meditate, and a clear feeling for their own strange and beautiful practice.

WAKE UP TO LIFE
From Lucid Dreaming to Lucid Living
Toni Porrello Course 4005-607/Tuition $470 ($425 Members)
Lucid dreaming is a scientifically proven state of dreaming during which we are conscious that we are dreaming. During this state we are able to practice acting out our dream goals and make connections to our inner selves—spiritually, emotionally, physiologically, and psychologically—and explore parts of ourselves we never imagined possible.
Through discussions, lectures, interactive activities, and guided meditation, you learn about boosting dream recall, using guided meditation and self-hypnosis, selfinterpreting dreams, and improving sleep hygiene. You explore and practice daytime and nighttime lucid dreaming techniques to increase awareness of self, others, and the world around us.
Discover how bringing your conscious mind to your dreams can significantly impact your waking reality. Return home with skills and knowledge along with a new perspective to apply in daily life.

An Emergent Experience of Aliveness and Connection
Sandrine Harris
Course 4005-548/Tuition $435 ($390 Members) SS
MARROW is a generative experience of unearthing aliveness. It is an unlearning and a repatterning. Grounded in deep process, it is an invitation into quiet internal exploration, meaningful conversations and listening, personal writing, creativity and movement, and flows of guided meditation.
Through a weave of somatics (body sensing and process), embodiment (presence of the layers of mind, heart, and body), and meditation (movement and stillness), we integrate our whole human experience. Together, we forge a path connecting our inner landscapes with community care and belonging within the natural world. Elements of this program include Feldenkrais® somatics, applications from interpersonal neurobiology and Somatic Experiencing®, creative mark-making on paper, forest bathing, and more.
No experience is necessary, and the program is facilitated through trauma sensitivity and sensing community. The final evening includes an energizing dance party with a global playlist.
Workshop begins Sunday at 7:15 p.m.
Sandrine Harris is a Somatic Experiencing and Feldenkrais Practitioner, and an embodied mindfulness meditation facilitator and trainer. Emergent Nature represents her collective o erings in private sessions and group experiences. sandrineharris.com

Experience five days of deep restoration, relaxation, and reflection in a retreat with John Vosler that draws on various lineages of yoga nidra, including iRest and the Integrative Amrit Method.

This week, we move our bodies before we take a resting position, where we clear our minds, allow our emotions to be experienced, and create intentions to live from a new perspective.

($325 Members) SS
The ancient people of Mexico called the world “slippery slick,” referencing their view of the world as an unstable place. As we experience unsteadiness in modern times, how can we anchor ourselves and regain our peace, purpose, and joy?
We do it by rooting. Rooting back into nature, our ancestry, and the truth of who we really are before the world told us who we should be. Under the guidance of curanderismo practitioner Robyn Moreno, we explore Mexica (Aztec) practices for finding our way home again.
During this experiential and heart-opening weekend, we root in the support of our sisterhood through movement, meditation, sharing circles, inspired journaling, connecting to nature, and sacred ritual.
This workshop is designed for those who identify as women and are being called to heal, lead, and grow.

EMPOWERMENT THROUGH POSTURE
Restore Natural Poise & Confidence
Esther Gokhale
Course 4102-438/Tuition $435 ($390 Members)
Having arrived on the planet without a user’s manual, we depend on our culture to help us develop healthy movement and posture habits. In modern times, this cultural support has largely eroded and even become counter-productive. Common posture cues such as “chin up, chest out,” and “sit up straight” undermine rather than support our structural integrity.
Esther Gokhale created the Gokhale Method®, a breakthrough in back pain relief, after experiencing crippling back pain during her first pregnancy and unsuccessful back surgery. Using posture as a springboard, Gokhale guides you to examine the connection between physical well-being and emotional empowerment. Focusing on everyday movements used for sitting, sleeping, standing, walking, and bending, you gain a clear understanding of how to improve your individual posture and restore your natural, healthy, and confident body and mind.

The art and practice of sound healing is surging in popularity. Much of this interest centers on gongs, bowls, and tuning forks. Training opportunities are popping up everywhere. But there are no standards, and too often, little apparent understanding of the deeper essence and commitment of this work.
Yes, there's a deeper essence beyond easy technique—a true and inspired heart to sound medicine practice—beyond the many magical sound tools available to us.
This retreat is a master level exploration into the heart of the healing power of sound. Through group and personal practices, in complement with Rich Goodhart’s multidimensional sound medicine immersions, we awaken and engage our deeper sonic perceptions and presence. The expansions received through this experience inform all aspects of one's sound and energy practices.

Course 4205-471/Tuition $490 ($440 Members)
The distinctive Tibetan practice of yoga known as Trul Khor, or magical movement, incorporates breath retention, awareness, and physical movements. Trul Khor is “a wonderful support for all spiritual practitioners, not just for those with an interest in physical yogas,” says Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.
During this workshop, we focus on the pith magical movements from the Zhang Zhung Nyen Gyu (Oral Transmission of Zhang Zhung). By harmonizing the winds (lung, prana, or chi) and guiding their flow through physical and energetic dimensions, Trul Khor can clear long-held blocks in the practitioner’s body, energy, and mind, supporting the spontaneous arising of awareness during formal meditation and in everyday life.
Beginning and experienced students of yoga are welcome.
