​​Retreat Overview​

"Most people have two things happening most of the time: what they do and what they think about what they are doing. We may feel any discrepancy between these two function as self-judgment, guilt, shame, regret, despair, envy, anxiety or lack of self-will. Such feelings can then propagate more self-judgment, etc. So how do we extract ourselves from this loop? How can we get out of our own way and function with authenticity."
