Yet in these unsettling times\, peace can seem elusive\, let alone something we can reliably abide in and respond from.  The 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?  In 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. This 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. Through 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\, unwindlimiting patterns\, and access the presence\, power and peace that surpasses all understanding. During This Retreat you can:Explore your access to the state of natural great peaceIlluminate what disrupts your peacefulness—and whyUnwind patterns of contraction\, reactivity\, and inner conflictLearn how to remain peaceful and potent\, even in challengeCultivate the spiritual musculature of Presence and open-heartednessStabilize a deeper inner ground—your True RefugeIn 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. \n \n \n \n WHAT'S INCLUDED \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This retreat package includes… Daily group sessions with Miranda MacphersonOvernight accommodations ( single\, double\, or triple occupancy)Three healthy vegetarian meals (breakfast\, lunch\, and dinner) served in a communal dining hallAccess to hiking trails\, labyrinth\, yoga/meditation classes and kirtanHotel room guests get access to fitness room and steam room in the Shankara Ayurveda Wellness CenterDaily parking for overnight guestsApplicable taxes and Service Charges are included in the rates listed below \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THE ART OF LIVING RETREAT CENTER \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Set 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.

Yet in these unsettling times\, peace can seem elusive\, let alone something we can reliably abide in and respond from.  The 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?  In 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. This 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. Through 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\, unwindlimiting patterns\, and access the presence\, power and peace that surpasses all understanding. During This Retreat you can:Explore your access to the state of natural great peaceIlluminate what disrupts your peacefulness—and whyUnwind patterns of contraction\, reactivity\, and inner conflictLearn how to remain peaceful and potent\, even in challengeCultivate the spiritual musculature of Presence and open-heartednessStabilize a deeper inner ground—your True RefugeIn 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. \n \n \n \n WHAT'S INCLUDED \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This retreat package includes… Daily group sessions with Miranda MacphersonOvernight accommodations ( single\, double\, or triple occupancy)Three healthy vegetarian meals (breakfast\, lunch\, and dinner) served in a communal dining hallAccess to hiking trails\, labyrinth\, yoga/meditation classes and kirtanHotel room guests get access to fitness room and steam room in the Shankara Ayurveda Wellness CenterDaily parking for overnight guestsApplicable taxes and Service Charges are included in the rates listed below \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THE ART OF LIVING RETREAT CENTER \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Set 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. Watch 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.  Serenity and relaxation await guests in the warm and inviting on-campus housing.

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.
