Self-paced, ANYTIME retreat: videos & yoga
Nothing to Fear About Being Free
with 5 talks from Laurence Freeman 
This retreat offers time for a spiritual check-up. It includes teaching from Fr. Laurence and yoga sessions with Giovanni Fellicioni. Fr. Laurence explores the positive side of asceticism and why there is nothing to fear about allowing ourselves to be free. He will also suggest practical ways of making Lent and other penitential times ones for releasing joy, energy and hope.
Cost: $60 dollars
Self-paced, ANYTIME retreat
Integral Light Shining in the Dark
with Cynthia Bourgeault
Over 15 hours of Cynthia’s 10 teaching sessions, five Gurdjieff contemplative practices and a short introductory overview of each session offer a deep dive into the profoundly Christian and incarnational mysticism at the root of Jean Gebser’s Integral Evolutionary theory. Bourgeault explores some of Gebser’s core ideas around time, transparency, spiritual generativity and “intensification of the present” and considers how the practical, attention-based “exercises” developed by Gurdjieff can offer us a way forward in our own uncertain times.
Cost: €50 (c. £38)
