Summer Solstice Daylong Retreat: Courage and Energy
with Ali Hedayat, Laura Liss and Devin Wallace
Saturday June 21
As the days grow longer with more sunlight, we reflect on the COURAGE and ENERGY that supports our path—allowing us to shine more light through mindfulness from within and meet this precious human birth with clarity and skillful presence. 
The day will begin with a meditation and dharma talk led by Ali, followed by breathwork, movement and discussion with Laura. After lunch, Devin will lead a QiGong practice and talk on the Chinese Summer Solstice tradition.
