NDSR Immersive Retreats are an opportunity to explore Non-Duality Based Stress Reduction in a spacious, supportive environment.
These retreats offer the same fundamental teachings as the 8-week program but allow for deep, continuous immersion—a chance to slow down, breathe, reconnect, and experience nondual awareness with fewer distractions.
Whether you’re new to contemplative practice or have years of meditation experience, an NDSR retreat provides a safe, trauma-informed setting for profound rest and personal insight.
Retreats are structured around guided practices designed to help participants recognize their natural, undivided awareness—not as a belief or philosophy, but as a direct experience.
All content is grounded in research on:
Stress physiology
Self-referential processing
Emotional regulation
Interoception and embodiment
Nondual awareness
This ensures that the retreat is not only meaningful but also psychologically safe.
Retreats emphasize:
Grounding
Somatic stability
Choice and agency
Gentle pacing
Avoidance of overwhelming or destabilizing techniques
Participants are never pressured to push beyond their capacity.
NDSR retreats are structured, intentional, and accessible. You don’t need prior meditation experience, religious beliefs, or advanced spiritual background. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to explore.
Each retreat includes a blend of:
Simple, clear practices that help loosen the habitual sense of separation and bring awareness directly to the present moment.
Accessible explanations of nondual principles, neuroscience, and the psychology of stress.
Gentle movement, breathwork, and grounding exercises to ensure full-body presence.
Optional group sharing circles centered on integration, insight, and emotional clarity.
Walks, silence in nature, and environmental awareness support a deeper sense of interconnection.
Not austere or extreme—simply the perfect amount of quiet to reduce mental noise and allow genuine rest.
Participants receive guidance on how to bring the insights of retreat back into daily life, relationships, and work.
NDSR retreats are ideal for:
Individuals experiencing chronic stress or burnout
Therapists, clinicians, and helping professionals
People feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or “stuck”
Meditators seeking a deeper nondual approach
Anyone longing for clarity, rest, and reconnection
Retreats are intentionally accessible and welcoming to all backgrounds.
Retreats are not recommended for individuals currently experiencing:
Active suicidal ideation
Acute trauma
Active psychosis or severe instability
Recent hospitalization for psychiatric reasons
We encourage those in crisis to seek professional clinical support first, and return for a retreat once stable.
Our retreat schedule is expanding. Future offerings may include:
Weekend retreats for a gentle introduction to NDSR
5-day retreats for deeper immersion
7–10 day retreats for those who want a transformative, extended experience
Clinician-focused retreats with CE-credit options
Silent retreats inspired by classical contemplative traditions
Nature-based retreats at Satori Springs (planned)
Dates and locations will be announced through the NDSR newsletter.
NDSR retreats will be held in quiet, spacious, restorative settings—often surrounded by nature. We are currently exploring partnerships with retreat centers known for sustainability, comfort, and contemplative support.
NDSR retreats are not about striving, effort, or forcing breakthroughs. They are about unlearning, softening, and rediscovering the clarity that has always been here.
Participants often describe NDSR retreats as:
restorative
grounding
surprising
freeing
deeply peaceful
life-shifting
And always gentle.
