In our daily life, we breathe, but we forget that we’re breathing.

We bring our attention to our in-breath and our out-breath.

Suddenly, we bring our body and our mind fully present in the here and now, and we smile.

~Thich Nhat Hanh

This is going to be *really good*:

Sam Kesler on the uke, Ed Hansen on piano and the up and coming classical quartet, The Elementals are going to entertain and inspire everyone within earshot of Spirit Mountain Retreat on Sunday, May 19th at our Annual Fundraiser.

We'll have music, refreshments, prize drawings, and a silent auction.

If you've been fortunate enough to enjoy the beautiful contemplative garden, attend an art class by Gary Parton, or participate in one of Katya Williamson's writing workshops, you already know of the wonderful and transformational energy of self-discovery and growth you can find here at Spirit Mountain Retreat.

Our mission is to help people discover, heal, and connect with themselves.

Women Veterans who attend our PTSD Resiliency Retreats have begun to heal and rediscover what it feels like to begin returning to themselves with the healing experiences and skills they learn in our 4-day retreats. They feel healing begin, they feel like they can function again, and they begin to remember what it was like to feel safe.

Sister Angela, an 85 year-old nun who spent 23 years as a missionary in Kenya came to Spirit Mountain after returning home to Ireland to discover what her next path might be. During her month-long retreat during the summer of 2018, she rested, meditated, and reconnected to herself. Sr. Angela referred to her stay as, "transformational, delightful, and I felt loved and cared for by the staff."

Chris, a 35 year old software designer came to Spirit Mountain for a two-week long silent retreat to get centered and de-stress in 2018 and left feeling rested and refreshed, ready to return to a high-stress job in LA.

Throughout the week, Spirit Mountain offers our local community where they can find comfort, community and solace through our support groups that include 12-step groups, and women's support groups including:

• -Grief Support Group
• -Overeaters Anonymous
• -Tai Chi in the Garden
• -Loving Kindness Meditation
• -Self-Realization Fellowship Meditation
• -Day of Mindfulness
• -Death Café
• -Women's Trauma Support Group
• -Al-Anon
• -Net of Light Meetings
• -Friday Women’s Writing Group

And these are just the beginning. We also offer several workshops that directly benefit our local mountain community including: writing workshops, art classes, men's retreats, travel retreats, business retreats, and many more.

As a nonprofit organization, the majority of our revenue is invested right back into our programs and workshops and into our community. With your generous support, we can continue our current programs and expand our offering.
