We’re excited to invite you to the first Zen Habits Weekend Intensive!
Dates: Oct. 19-21, 2023
Location: Art of Living Center in North Carolina
Theme: The Art of Letting Go (or, the Love Story of the Unknown)
In this weekend intensive, we ask you to take 2 days away from your life, and to be fully on retreat. Step away from your usual routine, and let yourself practice something different.
Take some spaciousness for reflection, and for deciding to try something different in your life.
And then do some deeper work with Leo Babauta, creator of Zen Habits, as we practice letting go, and stepping into the unknown.
The Power of Letting Go
We resist the unknown, cling to our old identity, and feel the lack of safety in the unknown. This stands in the way of creating something new for ourselves, of offering our meaningful work, and of playing and finding joy in the unknown. But what if we could find the sacredness in this space?
What if we could let go of safety and doing things the way we know … and step into a new mode?
In this weekend intensive, you will:
- Learn why and how we cling
- Get present to the impact of this clinging
- Learn the opportunity of staying and finding love in the unknown
- Practice creating in the unknown
- Create sacred ritual for uncertainty & focus
- Find connection, wonder, and play in the unknown
The commitment is $1,800, including accommodations & meals. If you’re ready to claim your spot, dive in here:
