SUMMARY:North Carolina Retreat - October 5 - 9\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Miranda and a small group of participants for a deeply transformative residential 5 day retreat full of profound spiritual teaching\, supported self-inquiry\, meditation\, chanting and prayer in the stunning fall setting of the highly acclaimed Art of Living Retreat Center\, Boone\, North Carolina.\nUnderneath every goal we have in life is the longing to be truly at peace – content\, whole and free. Yet in these unsettling times\, peace can seem elusive\, let alone something we can reliably abide in and respond from. \nThe great spiritual traditions remind us that no matter what is unfolding externally\, natural great peace is our intrinsic foundation\, part of our deepest nature and therefore always available. The question is – how do we gain more substantial access? What can support us to become more stabilized in equanimity\, even amidst uncertainty? \nIn times like these\, we are being called not just to touch into peace occasionally in formal practice\, but to embody a deeper Presence – one that can hold intensity without collapsing and be capable of responding to life with clarity\, from love and a grounded power. \nThis 5 day immersive retreat is designed to support the shift from seeking peace\, to abiding in the peace that always IS\, through the transformative practice of Ego Relaxation ™. Within a palpable community atmosphere of unconditional acceptance\, you can learn to relax the roots of habitual reactivity and discover a deeper inner seat – your true refuge IN Grace. \nThrough a rich and relevant body of teachings\, graceful transmission and powerful meditation\, devotion and inquiry practices\, Miranda will guide you through and beyond ego\, into a new depth of peace and spiritual potency that is your birthright and this world’s light. Together\, we will illuminate the root causes of inner conflict with courage\, compassion and curiosity\, unwind\nlimiting patterns\, and access the presence\, power and peace that surpasses all understanding. \nDuring This Retreat you can:\n\nExplore your access to the state of natural great peace\nIlluminate what disrupts your peacefulness—and why\nUnwind patterns of contraction\, reactivity\, and inner conflict\nLearn how to remain peaceful and potent\, even in challenge\nCultivate the spiritual musculature of Presence and open-heartedness\nStabilize a deeper inner ground—your True Refuge\n\nIn a time when so much feels uncertain\, this is an invitation to discover what within you is unshakable. Come\, and allow Presence itself to show you how to live limitless in peace\, grounded in power\, and deeply at home in what you are. \nWHAT’S INCLUDED\nThis retreat package includes… \n\nDaily group sessions with Miranda Macpherson\nOvernight accommodations ( single\, double\, or triple occupancy)\nThree healthy vegetarian meals (breakfast\, lunch\, and dinner) served in a communal dining hall\nAccess to hiking trails\, labyrinth\, yoga/meditation classes and kirtan\nHotel room guests get access to fitness room and steam room in the Shankara Ayurveda Wellness Center\nDaily parking for overnight guests\nApplicable taxes and Service Charges are included in the rates listed below\n\nTHE ART OF LIVING RETREAT CENTER\n\nSet amidst 380+ breathtaking acres of pristine forest high up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone\, North Carolina\, the Art of Living Retreat Center is a renowned sanctuary of peace that eases the mind and inspires the soul. \nWatch the sun rise over the mountaintops\, rejuvenate with an Ayurvedic body treatment during your self-care time outside of the group sessions with Miranda\, or feel the quiet of a walk in the exquisite fall colors of the forest. \nSerenity and relaxation await guests in the warm and inviting on-campus housing. You can choose a private or shared space and personalize your stay with a room type that meets your needs. All of the comfortable rooms are equipped with en-suite bathrooms and many feature stunning views of the beautiful\, natural setting. \n \nBecause the campus sits on top of a mountain\, it’s important to note the grounds are spacious and hilly.

Her guided meditations made the surrender so gentle and sweet as to be nearly unnoticeable – I just suddenly found myself immersed in universal love.  And the community! What joy!

SUMMARY:Home Retreat - November 4th-8th 2026
DESCRIPTION:If ever there was a time to stay spiritually connected to the Source of inner peace\, clarity and real love – its now. How can we access the Grace we need in such anxiety provoking times – to be both potent and peaceful\, serene yet strong? How can we live meaningfully and retain our optimism\, while acting wisely in service to our loved ones and wider community?    This five day Home Retreat via Zoom offers a precious opportunity to harness all that we are grappling with personally\, inter-personally and also collectively\, as fuel that can ultimately propel us further on the path of awakening. Together\, we will explore what timeless spiritual Truths have to offer us in navigating these enormous times from our spiritual depth.   Miranda will guide you through a rich and relevant body of teachings and practices to help you find calm abiding\, receive deep spiritual nourishment\, allow for transformation of ego obstacles\, and become the most graceful human beings we can be\, embodying our love and wisdom deeper into our world.  In a community field everyone and everything is welcome\, we will explore – ·      Grounding more substantially in the Source of love\, peace and joy independent of external circumstances. ·      Cultivating the spiritual musculature for presence\, open-heartedness and equanimity. ·      Transforming anxiety into trust\, anger into strength\, pain into compassion\, reactivity into responsiveness. ·      Harnessing the intensity to grow deeper\, stronger\, clearer\, wiser…relaxing and going beyond ego.  ·      Beautiful meditations\, prayers\, chants and inquiries to nourish\, inspire and expand you. \nIf you have not yet attended one of our Home Retreats\, please know that you are encouraged to treat this as you would an in-person retreat.  This means clearing your schedule so that you can attend all sessions (unless you live in Europe and wish to watch the recording of the ‘afternoon sessions’ next day due to the time difference). \nNumbers for our Home Retreats are limited so that as many people as possible have an opportunity to interact personally with Miranda during the retreat.  These Home Retreats usually fill up very quickly so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment. \nParticipants and those who are unable to attend ‘live’ will have full access to the recordings of all sessions for life. \nRETREAT FORMAT\n(All times are in Pacific Time – click here to check times in your area) \nMORNING SESSIONS\n9:30 A.M– 12:30 P.M Wednesday\, November 4 – Sunday\, November 8 \nIncludes: \n* morning meditation & mantra practice \n* teaching session with inquiry practice in pairs \n* interactive dialogue together – exactly the same as we would do in person. \nDAILY SELF-CARE TIME with specific deepening and self-nurturing recommendations from Miranda. i.e. taking a walk in nature with a specific inquiry focus or work with a mantra. Taking healing baths at home (with recommendations on salts\, aromatherapy and reading/music)\, even recipes for cooking delicious nourishing immune boosting food (easy to make…and those of you who know Miranda personally know that she is a fabulous cook!). \nAFTERNOON SATSANG SESSIONS\n4:00 P.M – 6:00 P.M Wednesday 4th – Saturday\, November 7th \nMiranda will work with your most important questions and concerns in exactly the same way as she would in person. \nThose in time zones that make this session difficult to attend will be given the opportunity to work with Miranda in the Morning Sessions.  The recording of the Afternoon Satsang Session will be available from 9am Central European Time the next day. \nCAN’T ATTEND ALL THE SESSIONS?\nWhilst we encourage you to treat this as you would an in-person retreat and attend every session\, we realize that this may not be possible due to time differences etc.  So a recording of each session will be posted to the Course Homepage within 12 hours of the session and you are strongly encouraged to watch that before our next session together. \nThose in time zones that make it difficult to attend the Afternoon Sessions will be given the opportunity to work with Miranda in the Morning Sessions.  The recording of the Afternoon Satsang Session will be available from 9am Central European Time the next day. \nRECORDINGS\nPlease note that the recordings of this retreat will be shared on a private Vimeo playlist which can only be accessed by attendees.  By registering to attend this retreat\, you give permission for all sessions to be recorded for this purpose and you will be expected to sign a waiver to this effect. \nNEXT STEPS\nOnce you have registered and paid\, you will receive a booking confirmation email.  If you do not see this automated email from info@mirandamacpherson.com in your inbox after registration then please check your spam/junk folders and change your email settings to ensure you see all future emails from us. \nOnce registered please login to your account on this website and go to COURSES & RETREATS where they will have access to all the information you require to make this home retreat deeply nurturing and transformative for you.  This includes suggestions for getting yourself set up for our sessions together\, recipes to nourish you\, mantras\, handouts\, and much more.  Miranda encourages you to take time in advance of the retreat to prepare yourself and your space accordingly. \nI’ve attended countless retreats throughout my life and I have to say this was the best retreat I’ve ever been honored to be in. The teachings were electric & rich; everyone became highly engaged; there were many many breakthroughs including my own. I felt part of a living community of discovery. I found answers to longstanding spiritual questions of mine. Miranda was fearless\, brilliant\, prolific & totally committed to benefiting us. I’ll be attending as many of her retreats as I possibly can.\nHome Retreat attendee\, 2021\nWith Miranda’s attuned loving presence/transmission & and the incredible depth of teachings and processes from this retreat\, I can begin to ground in my true nature and explore letting doing happen from I AM awareness. In my decades on the path\, I have never seen so many participants opening/awakening in a retreat as I did in this intimate one where anyone who wanted to work with Miranda one-on-one had the chance to do so.\nHome Retreat attendee 2021

SUMMARY:European Retreat 2027
DESCRIPTION:                     6-day In Person Retreat with Miranda Macpherson\nI invite you to join me for a 6-day residential retreat—a sacred opportunity to step out of the busyness of daily life and reconnect with the deeper truth of your Being. \nWhen we create space to slow down\, listen deeply\, and turn inward\, we become more available to Grace—the tangible presence within us that awakens\, heals\, transforms\, and guides us home. Retreat offers a unique opportunity to relax beyond habitual patterns and open more fully to the wisdom\, love\, and Presence that is already here. \nTogether\, we will explore a blend of spiritual teaching\, meditation\, inquiry\, silence\, devotional practice\, music\, and embodied exploration\, all held within a field of compassion\, authenticity\, and deep acceptance. My intention is to support not only moments of insight\, but a deeper capacity to embody what you discover in everyday life. \nIn this supportive environment\, you may find yourself: \n\nDeepening your connection to Presence and inner stillness\nOpening more fully to the transformative power of Grace\nReleasing limiting patterns\, beliefs\, and emotional burdens\nCultivating greater trust\, clarity\, and self-compassion\nDiscovering a more authentic and embodied expression of your true nature\nRenewing your sense of purpose\, meaning\, and connection\n\nMore than a break from daily life\, retreat is an invitation to come home—to rest in the freedom\, wisdom\, and love that are your deepest essence and allow that realization to illuminate every aspect of your life. I look forward to sharing this precious time together. \nThe topic for this retreat has not yet been announced. Early registration at the discounted rate that was offered this year is being offered below for a limited time only!\n\nRetreat Center The Place to – BE\, Zelhem\, Netherlands\n																														 \nOur new home\, “The Place to BE”\, is located in the eastern Netherlands\, held within a wide embrace of forest and meadow on the Slangenburg estate. Once a working farm built in 1921\, this land has patiently matured into a sanctuary for inner awakening. Now lovingly restored\, it offers a simple\, affordable\, and deeply supportive environment for retreat— creating a space where transformation and shared inquiry can naturally deepen. \nClick here to find out more about The Place to – BE\n							\n														\n							\n														\n							\n														\n							\n														\n							\n														\n							\n														\n							\n														\n							\n														 \nClick here to see more images of The Place to – BE\nHow to Get There\nThe Place to – BE can be reached by car in 2 hours\, or by regular public transport in a few hours\, from Schiphol Airport.

SUMMARY:California Retreat 2027
DESCRIPTION:              6-day In Person Retreat with Miranda Macpherson\nI invite you to join me for a 6-day residential retreat—a sacred opportunity to step out of the busyness of daily life and reconnect with the deeper truth of your Being. \nWhen we create space to slow down\, listen deeply\, and turn inward\, we become more available to Grace—the tangible presence within us that awakens\, heals\, transforms\, and guides us home. Retreat offers a unique opportunity to relax beyond habitual patterns and open more fully to the wisdom\, love\, and Presence that is already here. \nTogether\, we will explore a blend of spiritual teaching\, meditation\, inquiry\, silence\, devotional practice\, music\, and embodied exploration\, all held within a field of compassion\, authenticity\, and deep acceptance. My intention is to support not only moments of insight\, but a deeper capacity to embody what you discover in everyday life. \nIn this supportive environment\, you may find yourself: \n\nDeepening your connection to Presence and inner stillness\nOpening more fully to the transformative power of Grace\nReleasing limiting patterns\, beliefs\, and emotional burdens\nCultivating greater trust\, clarity\, and self-compassion\nDiscovering a more authentic and embodied expression of your true nature\nRenewing your sense of purpose\, meaning\, and connection\n\nMore than a break from daily life\, retreat is an invitation to come home—to rest in the freedom\, wisdom\, and love that are your deepest essence and allow that realization to illuminate every aspect of your life. I look forward to sharing this precious time together. \nThe topic for this retreat has not yet been announced. Early registration at a discounted rate is being offered for a limited time only. Reserve your space below! \nSan Damiano Retreat Center – Danville\, CA\n\nWe are delighted to welcome you to our first retreat at San Damiano\, a beautiful Franciscan retreat center nestled in the rolling hills of the San Ramon Valley. Set on over fifty acres of peaceful\, natural beauty\, San Damiano offers a quiet\, prayerful atmosphere that effortlessly supports reflection\, rest\, and inner listening. Many of you hold deep affection for the Mercy Center\, as I do. As you know\, it has now closed to hosting retreats\, and we’ve taken great care in finding a new home that carries a similar spirit of simplicity\, silence\, and sacred presence. San Damiano feels like a wonderful continuation—an oasis of peace where the land itself invites us inward. With private rooms\, garden access\, fountains\, walking paths\, a labyrinth\, and other sacred spaces\, the setting gently holds our time together. The Franciscan greeting\, “Peace and All Good\,” truly lives here—and I look forward to sharing this special place with you. \nClick here to find out more about San Damiano\n															\n															\n															\n															\n															\n																														 \nClick here to see images of San Damiano\nHow to Get There\nAddress: 710 Highland Dr\, Danville\, CA 94526\n			 \nRetreat Format & Timings\nWE ASK THAT YOU DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ARRIVE BEFORE SUPPER ON THE 1ST DAY AND TO STAY UNTIL AT LEAST 1PM ON THE FINAL DAY.

Her retreats are balanced between delivering moving and meaningful\, content and experiential exercises.\nMiranda is a master teacher. She is sincere\, generous and thoroughly exemplifies her teachings.\nI would highly recommend her retreats if you are serious about your spiritual growth. If you follow her teachings\, and  put the effort in\, you will grow.\n						\n								Melanie MurrayTherapist\n						If you have worked with Miranda and are looking for a deeper dive into your Being within an illuminated field of deep love\, compassion\, joy and possibility\, in the presence of other soul friends\, give yourself the gift of joining Miranda and experience the deep peace\, grace\, and beauty of that come from her retreats.\n								 Retreat participant 2022\n						Four days with Miranda and her community did more to help me drop my identities\, my fears\, my “I don’t want it”s and “I have to have it”s than a month-long silent meditation retreat. Her guided meditations made the surrender so gentle and sweet as to be nearly unnoticeable – I just suddenly found myself immersed in universal love.  And the community! What joy! I might just laugh my way to enlightenment. Who knew ego relaxation could be so much fun?!\n								  SantaRetreat participant 2022\n							\n													 \nCOST TO ATTEND​\nThe cost includes room\, board\, and Miranda’s fee for this event.
