Meditation Intensives and Retreats

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.

Shorter sitting opportunities (60-90 minute) are occasionally offered and include a brief talk, meditation, and time for Q&A. These sessions are created to offer inspiration and support for attendees as they meet a range of life situations.

New listings for online and in-person meditation offerings will be posted here. You may also receive event notifications by signing up for Elaine’s newsletter.

Dear Friends,

"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."
