Returning Home: Tools for Remembering

There’s no place like home. Join Melissa Diehl and J Miles for Returning Home: Tools for Remembering — a heart-centered retreat held among the rolling hills, spring-fed waters, and natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country.

Together, we will cultivate practices and tools for remembering:

• Remembering that we are all we need
• Remembering that home is where the heart is
• Remembering that we can always find refuge within
• Remembering that caring for ourselves is a powerful way to serve our community

Come together to be nourished — inside and out.

• 6:00 AM — Sadhana (Ganesha)
• 8:00 AM — Reflection + Journaling / Breakfast
• 10:00 AM — Fire Practice (90 minutes)
• 12:00 PM — Lunch
• 2:00 PM — Embodiment Practice / Group Outing
• 6:00 PM — Dinner
• 8:00 PM — Nectar Practice

Full schedule details will be shared following registration.

With a soft place to land, space for stillness, holistic food to nourish your body, contemplative practices to expand your mind, and deep connections to soften your heart — any space can become a temple when people gather in reverence.

It is our intention to create a space where you can remember that your body is your own temple — worthy of being cared for.

Home is where the heart is, and we invite you to experience this heart-centered offering — from our heart to yours. Be present for the full embrace.
