entering the ground of being

Over the course of the weekend, Shar will host nine live Zoom gatherings featuring guided meditations, self-inquiry, and Q&A.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.Schedule: This retreat has been designed to suit the AU/NZ/USA/CAN timezones, but you are welcome to attend if you are in another timezone.

Yes. This retreat is designed to be accessible and affordable, even if you cannot attend every session.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 your practice. 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.
