This retreat offers a chance to step away from the pace of daily life and explore mindfulness and self-compassion in a supportive community. Through guided meditation, gentle teaching, and shared reflection, we’ll explore the tenets of Mindful Self-Compassion — mindfulness, common humanity, and self-kindness — drawing on the work of Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Chris Germer. The emphasis is on direct experience and simple practices that can support you in everyday life.

Our days will include guided sessions as well as unstructured time for walking the forest paths, resting, connecting with others, or soaking in the hot springs. Nestled in the forested foothills of the Oregon Cascades, Breitenbush offers a rare setting where natural beauty, quiet community, and the healing waters support reflection and renewal.
