No Cost and Pre-registration Not Required
Don will offers two live sessions on Zoom

"When we oppose what Life is offering in the moment, we can feel justified and empowered. But it is precisely this opposition that creates the personal sense of self. Not opposing Life does not mean that we condone or even like what is happening; it only means that we acknowledge the fact that it is what is happening. That acknowledgment free us to act as we understand the need to act."

Retreat Overview

"If a long-lost aunt gave you a million dollars in her will, but you didn't know of her gift, it wouldn't do you much good. Your True Nature is like that. The gift has already been given, but we may not be aware of it. It is good news indeed that we don't have to earn the gift or be worthy of the gift. We only need to recognize the gift. The tricky part is that it is hard to recognize something when we are looking in the wrong direction. This weekend will be devoted to pointing as directly as possible to your already existing inheritance."

"Discover Your True Nature"

June 19 - 21, 2026

Weekend In-Person Retreat

with Don Oakley & Patty Bottari

Well Being Retreat Center, Tazewell, TN

$295 for In-Person Retreat incl. tuition, lodging and two meals.
$75 for Livestream Option (or $50 as Concession Pricing)

Retreat Overview

"There are many spiritual practices suggested to seekers as the true path and most do have value. But, since these body/minds have limited time, energy and resources, the question really is, "what is the most efficient and direct path that is likely to produce my desired results in this lifetime?" If we can recognize our True Nature all else will follow. Our True Nature can be recognized in a moment. This retreat is structured to create fertile ground for that discovery."
