Spring Retreat – USA

What if, for one week, you could simply come home to yourself?

That is what Kathy and I are offering you this May 31st- June 6th, here at Moon Lake– a rare and unhurried pause from the noise of daily life, and a genuine return to what matters most.

We have titled this gathering “Resting in Natural Great Peace” — a phrase drawn from an ancient Tibetan Buddhist poem.  But this isn’t an academic retreat, and you don’t need any particular background to be here. What we’re pointing to is something every one of us already knows, even if we’ve lost touch with it: a quiet, steady ground beneath the busyness of our lives.

The Power of This Place

There is something remarkable that happens when you step into the landscape at Moon Lake.  The natural world has a way of loosening the grip of whatever is unessential — the roles we play, the worries we carry, the constant hum of self-concern.  Without any effort on your part, something softens.  Something older and truer begins to surface.

For us, this landscape is not just a beautiful backdrop.  It is a living invitation — to rest, to open, and to remember the deeper ground of who you are.

What This Week Offers You

This is not about acquiring new ideas or techniques. It is about something more fundamental: rediscovering your trust in yourself — in the part of you that always knows — even when your mind is full of doubt.  It is about recognizing that even in your struggles, your uncertainties, your moments of unkindness toward yourself and others — all of it is part of your deepest unfolding.

Together, we will explore what it means to be rooted in that ground, to feel genuinely connected — to nature, to each other, and to the larger life that holds us all.

An Invitation to Friends Both Old and New

If you have joined us before, you know what this land and this work can open in you.  We welcome you back. If you are new to Moon Lake, know that you are arriving at just the right time.  There is no prerequisite other than a genuine longing for something real.

Come. Rest. Be held by this place.

The fruit of our life’s work — and our deep joy — is to share it with you. We hope you’ll take that leap and join us.
