entering the ground of being

This online weekend retreat is an invitation to deepen your spiritual practice within a flexible, supportive environment. Over the course of the weekend, Shar will host seven live Zoom gatherings featuring guided meditations, self-inquiry, and direct Q&A. A 'Drop-In' Experience: Designed to accommodate all time zones and schedules, this retreat is flexible. You are welcome to join as many or as few sessions as your schedule allows; the experience is designed so that you won't 'miss out' if you can only attend a portion of the weekend. The Practice of Silence: While the schedule is flexible, I invite you to commit to silence between our live gatherings if you have the opportunity. This inward focus allows for the deepest integration and benefit from our time together.

Yes. This retreat is designed to be accessible and affordable, even if you cannot attend every session. Please join as many as your schedule allows. Shar understands that participants are joining from various time zones, and some session times may not be convenient for everyone. If you miss the opening session or any subsequent gatherings, you will not be at a disadvantage. Each session is a complete opportunity for deepening. You are also welcome to join late or leave early if necessary. It is entirely up to you how much time you dedicate to the retreat. While devoting the full weekend to silence and meditation offers the greatest benefit for awakening, it is not a requirement. I invite you to engage in a way that feels sustainable and supportive for you.
