Unfolding the Great Heart: Bhakti, Buddhism, and the Practice of Connection
With Spring Washam, Henry Shukman and Nina Rao

This retreat is a sacred invitation to return to the source of your inner strength—the boundless capacity of your heart to love, heal, and transform. Together, we will explore the ‘Great Heart,’ a sanctuary of devotion and wisdom that holds the power to illuminate even the darkest moments of our lives.

Through the intertwined paths of Bhakti and Buddhism, we will dive into heart-centered practices that open us to the healing power of love and connection. Each day will include Metta meditation to cultivate compassion, devotional rituals to deepen our sense of reverence, and sitting and walking meditation on the land to ground us in presence and stillness. In the evenings, we’ll gather for chanting—a practice of surrender and devotion that invites us to rest in the sacred pulse of life.

Step into this journey of devotion and transformation, where the Great Heart unfolds as a source of courage, resilience, and infinite possibility.

Open to both beginning and experienced practitioners.
