Nourishing Ourselves with Presence, Caring and Truth

A one day online retreat with Arinna Weisman

Saturday March 7th, 2026, 10am to 4pm

When messages of lies, harm and greed permeate our being and we become disheartened, then it is time (again and again) to come together and return to ourselves. We listen into the amazing capacity of the diaphragm, lungs, ligaments and more, moving in cycles of breath and heartbeat. We return, begin anew and clear away what is extraneous to our well-being.  Together we strengthen our presence and non-distraction.

We offer ourselves the opportunity to  reconnect with our inner life whether it is topsy turvy, joyous, difficult or pleasant, we come away refreshed, comforted and nourished for the journey we are on.

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.

The top fish is blue with teal and green checkered scales, with blue and green stripes on its belly. It has deep blue fins and head. The bottom fish is red-orange and has diagonal diamond scales with a light orange dot at the center of each scale. Its head is orange and its bell and fins red.
