Multi-Day Retreat
I host between two and four Multi-Day Retreats each year. Some are in-person and some are virtual. They range in length from four to seven days.
The next retreat will be six days long, from May 31st - June 5th, and take place at The Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY (2 hours north of NYC).
In preparation for this retreat, I've been pondering what practices and perspectives are most needed by meditators today and what topics I'm uniquely suited to teach. These inquiries keep pointing me to a theme you'll probably recognize:
Awakening & Responsibility: How meditation leads to effective action
Here are some highlights of what to expect!
Guided meditations on Trustworthiness, Integrity, Your Life's Mission, Decision Making, Internal Family Systems, and more
Lectures on the Facets of Happiness, Effort & Ease, Practice Structure, and more
One-on-one interviews with me (Toby) to get personalized inspiration and support (optional)
Morning and evening yoga and Tai Chi classes (optional)
Meditator super-friends : )
About The Omega Institute
The Omega Institute is one of the most well-known and respected retreat centers in America and it's a honor to partner with them. Started in 1977, Omega has hosted Ram Das, Pema Chodron, Thich Nhat Hanh, Allen Ginsberg, and countless other great teachers of our time.
Located on 250 acres, the campus includes miles of forest trails, a lake (you can use their kayaks!), a full-service spa (you can get a massage in the middle of retreat!), vegetable and flower gardens, hidden sanctuaries, sculpture installations, the Omega Center for Sustainable Living (a green building that contains a chemical-free water reclamation system), a bookstore, and a cafe.

A Personal Note
Partnering with Omega for this retreat is a milestone in my journey as a teacher. Many of you have been with me for years, and honestly, it would mean the world to have you there in the room.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments (toby.sola@brightmind.com). I hope to see you there!
