A Holiday for the heart
Online daylong retreat
with VINNY FERRARO
Saturday, March 15, 2025
10am-4pm Pacific on Zoom

Where every step is my home. ~Dogen
With so much change happening all around us, it’s best to stay close to our own deepest knowing. Through the cultivation of mindfulness, we’ll devote this day to connecting with our intrinsic awareness—the part of us that’s awake, that dimension that’s deeper than thought, personality and the endless urge to improve. This awareness is the essence of Buddha nature.
Together we’ll practice stepping off that hamster wheel of doing, without needing to be more, better, or different. It’s like giving your heart a holiday: resting right in the middle of whatever’s unfolding, holding what needs to be held, and letting go of what’s already gone.
Whether you drop in for an hour or stay all day, you’ll be in the company of a caring community.
Come just as you are: messy, curious and real—it’s all welcome. No perfect people allowed. This path of ours is way more fun together.
