A 9 day Mystic Monastery: October 12-20, 2019
Do you desire a more tangible connection to your higher power?
Have you ever wondered what the deeper meaning of your life is?
Is your soul longing for a spiritual experience of something greater?
Are you carrying baggage from past experiences or wounds with Religion?
Enter a modern day mystic monastery
This one of a kind 9-day program was designed to address the need for the sacred in our 21st century. In our modern day world, we are constantly barraged by stimulus and chronic busyness. In the fast-paced lives we lead, it is almost impossible to connect to the stillness and inner peace at the center of our being.
A Sacred Pause
Drawing from many different traditions, this ashram is one of a kind!
In most monastic settings, you follow one particular lineage and practice. In our monastery, we have distilled the mystical gems and contemplative practices from many different traditions to allow you a variety of unique pathways to access, widen, and deepen your connection with the Great Mystery.
God/Spirit/Divinity/The Mystery are all words that point towards something that is ultimately beyond words. Yet, in our work with people we have seen a 
recurrent theme:
Consciously, people long to experience a connection to a greater force or a higher power; yet– at the same time, something blocks them from this connection.
These blockages are deep and subconscious – shaped ultimately by our past conditioning, our upbringing and our prior experiences–or lack thereof– with Spirituality and/or Religion.
When these subconscious beliefs go unexamined, we are not truly free to enter into a mature relationship with Source. This retreat is a unique opportunity to examine and release the negative conditioning that we carry towards God , leaving us freer and more empowered to move forward and create this relationship in a conscious way.
This monastery is a sacred refuge – where you are free from the stress and struggles of your daily life. In the profound rest and quiet that this retreat offers, you can immerse yourself in the journey of your soul’s longing to develop a tangible connection with the Source at the center of your being: God.
“This mystic monastery removes all that stands
in the way of a direct experience with your Spiritual Source.”

“This is the Crown Jewel of the Inner Journey courses. From a practical perspective, it’s a wonderfully healthy way to enrich your body, mind and spirit. For me, growing up Gay in a Christian home, left me wounded and skeptical of all organized religions. But, this experience gave me a deeper understanding of the true essence of all religions and helped heal my heart and lighten my spirit more than I ever imagined. I am deeply grateful I dared to dive into this experience.” Jan Canterbury, Environmental Scientist, Washington DC
