FINDING TRUE REFUGE - A FIVE-DAY RETREAT WITH MIRANDA MACPHERSON FEBRUARY 25th - MARCH 1st, 2026
What if the refuge you long for is not something you must attain, but an inner sanctuary that has always been here—waiting to be fully uncovered and fully trusted—and what if abiding there is the greatest service you could offer yourself, your loved ones, and our world in these demanding times?
This five-day immersive retreat with Miranda Macpherson invites you to discover True Refuge—the unshakable ground of Grace that can hold you personally, relationally, and collectively. Beneath the turmoil of our times lies a deeper source of suffering: losing touch with our true nature. When this inner ground feels unavailable, we unconsciously turn to false refuges—roles, beliefs, habits, and strategies that promise safety but ultimately drain rather than restore us. This retreat offers a direct and compassionate path back to the spiritual nourishment needed to live with clarity, calm, and open-hearted engagement.
Through Miranda’s distinctive transmission and practice of Ego Relaxation™, you will gently illuminate what drives these patterns and why deeper surrender can feel vulnerable. Held in a palpable atmosphere of love and acceptance, effort naturally softens and Grace becomes tangible. As your center of gravity shifts into embodied presence, you take a deeper seat in what is never rocked and does not change. From this ground, you learn to live the paradoxes of our time—being both potent and peaceful, strong yet yielded—responding rather than reacting. The truth and beauty of your essential nature begin to infuse how you relate, perceive, and serve in daily life.
This retreat will support you to:
- Discover the reservoir of spiritual nourishment already alive at your core
- Illuminate what drives habitual turning toward false refuges that drain rather than
restore - Release ego patterns that perpetuate separation, agitation, and inner conflict
- Take a deeper seat in meditation, inquiry, and devotion
- Cultivate the spiritual musculature of presence, open-heartedness, and curiosity
- Live your spiritual depth in service to your loved ones and the greater whole
This retreat is for sincere seekers who feel the call to be found by a Grace deeper than the mind—and to embody inner stability, compassion, and wisdom as a living contribution to our world at this pivotal time.
