Our annual Becoming Bodhisattvas retreat returns to the Garrison Institute Wednesday September 30 - Monday October 5, 2026.

Buddhist Refuge and Bodhisattva Vows will be offered at this retreat.

A daylong online retreat exploring the meaning of lineage through the Jewel Tree Sadhana, a practice compiled from various sources and developed by Ethan Nichtern that helps connect us to our personal—and shared—lineages for inspiration, support and intuitive guidance.

Join Heather Shaw, Jaysen Waller, and William Hernandez-- dynamic creatives from our community and beyond--to explore the connections between creative practice and mindfulness. Whether you’re a writer, painter, musician, actor, dancer, dreamer, or someone who’s convinced they “aren’t creative,” you’re warmly invited!
