Meditation opportunities with Elaine are available online and in-person in Bozeman, MT. Types of events: 2-hour webinars, ½ day, 1-2-day retreats.
Intensives and retreats are designed to provide experiences on the power of awareness, and mindfulness and compassion practices. Meditation intensives are intended to restore balance in one’s body, mind, and heart. They can also nourish and help deepen the awakening and embodiment process along one’s spiritual path.

Everyday Mindfulness for Greater Energy, Health, and Well-Being
Eating nutritious foods, taking high-quality supplements, and exercising regularly are essential for health. Yet when the mind and nervous system are chronically stressed, the body cannot fully benefit. Mindfulness helps us work more skillfully with stress, thoughts, and emotions while supporting greater regulation and balance in the body. This allows healthy habits to work together more effectively for greater energy, health, and well-being. Participants will learn simple, everyday practices to cultivate calm, focus, and vitality.

Elaine's teachings come from the heart. She offers them with profound wisdom, abundant humor, and a deep caring for others. When Elaine offers a retreat at the Bozeman Dharma Center, the most common feedback we hear is "When will she be back?"
Michãel Palmer
Bozeman Dharma Center Executive Director
"I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Elaine for many years, both through her deeply insightful individual sessions and her transformative retreats. I am consistently drawn to her profound wisdom and her gentle, compassionate approach, which always helps me find a sense of true centeredness. Her retreats are a highlight for me; they serve as both a wonderful, calming reset and a necessary meditation 'tune- up' that keeps my practice vibrant. Beyond the teaching itself, I truly value and enjoy the warm community of fellow practitioners she brings together. I am so grateful for the space Elaine holds for us all."
Bruce Combs
Attorney and Banker
"To sit and be guided by Elaine and her teachings is a living lesson and experience in present embodied awareness. Her workshops are pure moments in time when we get to be held in the field of unconditional love, practice it, and realize it. It is a rare and necessary era for the next wave of humanity to awaken. Elaine has heeded the timely call. And she is leading with unsurpassed love, joy, and mastery. Forever I am grateful for her devotion to the many, the earth and the lineages of spiritual teachings with which she illuminates true nature. She is articulating in form and frequency paths to freedom. May her offerings ignite with in you clarity, connection, compassion, and courage while you walk on your path."
