Topic: "Is Everything Impermanent?"
August 18, 2026
No Cost and Pre-registration Not Required 
Don will offers two live sessions on Zoom
at 1:00 pm Eastern (US) and 6:30 pm Eastern

"Everything we can see, taste, touch, hear, think or feel is always in a state of flux, always changing. Every living being comes with an expiration date. We might ask, "In a world where nothing is permanent, where can our true identity be found?" Is there anything that abides?"

IN-PERSON RETREATS

Don Oakley offers in-person weekend retreats on a monthly basis, with his wife Patty Bottari, at Well Being Retreat Center in Tazewell, TN.

​​Retreat Overview​

"Most people imagine enlightenment to be difficult, far away, and only for a select few. It is difficult to realize only because it is so simple, so near, and already complete as our essential nature. How then do we recognize what we already are? It is not a matter of adopting some belief system nor committing ourselves to a lifetime of striving. But it does require self-honesty, openness and humility. And a certain amount of courage. Why wait to discover your birthright?"
