Away Retreat and Hike

Finding Stillness Within

A Half-day Retreat & Hike

Saturday ⋅ 29th ⋅ September

You deserve a break!

Sometimes we can’t get away for an actual vacation, so why not a mini vacation at Folk Tree Lodge. A half-day retreat. We will have plenty of time to submerge our mind in a peaceful, tranquil experience of meditation.

We will look at some essential meditations for finding the inner quiet, rest, and relaxation we need. We will also learn some basic strategies to quiet the mind and connect to this inner calm.

In this mini-meditation retreat at the beautiful Folk Tree Lodge, you will find the space to unplug from digital life and settle into a peaceful and refreshed state of mind. Buddhist nun Kelsang Khacho will guide you in a series of breathing meditations to help detoxify your body, speech, and mind, which will fill you with positive energy and strengthen your good heart. Greater peace and happiness awaits you.

We will begin our day hiking (optional).

We will meet at the West Bragg Creek Parking Lot at ___am. A park pass is needed for the parking lot. If you have one and can take others who do not that would be great. Please let us know at akbcinfo@gmail.com how many people you can take or if you need a ride.

Be sure to bring water for hiking and anything else you wish.

A vegetarian lunch will be provided by AKBC at the Folk Tree Lodge. Please let us know at akbcinfo@gmail.com of any food allergies you might have when you register so we can plan the menu accordingly.
