2026 New Year’s: Mindfulness and Metta Retreat

with Arinna Weisman and Melissa Coats

For women, trans and gender non-conforming people

Dec 27 – Jan 1st, 2026, Colfax, CA

This retreat is an opportunity for strengthening our capacity to hold ourselves and others with loving-kindness, and deepening our awareness and understanding of this brief and precious life. We will come together in practice, cultivating wholesome states, and diminishing the greed, hatred and delusion within ourselves, just as we wish to see those forces diminish in the world. We will be co-creating an alternative way of living/practicing together to the dominant culture of harming being expressed.
