The Happiness that Endures: Awakening to and Embodying True Nature
This daylong retreat explores the distinction between relative, human happiness, which naturally fluctuates with mood and circumstance, and the deeper happiness that endures beneath our changing conditions.
Through guided meditation, contemplative inquiry, and embodied practices, we’ll explore ways of recognizing true nature and the gradual transformation that allows this enduring well-being to be lived more often in everyday life
Saturday, October 11, 2026Everyday Mindfulness for Greater Energy, Health, and Well-Being
Eating nutritious foods, taking high-quality supplements, and exercising regularly are essential for health. When our minds are busy or stressed, however, the body can’t fully benefit. Mindfulness helps calm the mind and support the body, allowing healthy habits to work together for greater energy, health, and well-being. Participants will learn simple, everyday practices to nurture calm, focus, and vitality.

"I have attended several of Elaine's half day retreats over the past years. Her guidance, spiritual information and her presence, inform on a cellular and soul level. I have always left these retreats, whether in person or online, feeling more peaceful, at ease and elevated spiritually, mentally and physically. It is truly an honor to take part in Elaine's teachings."
KLee Subik
Health Coach
"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."
