a 10 night stay for Ascension...

 The 10 night Advanced Retreat offers the opportunity to dive into your practice with longer hours of Ascending. 
This event begins with the first 4 days of auditing a First Sphere to refresh and review the basic nuts & bolts of how to Ascend  combined with  plenty of time to spend with your closed eye and and open eye practices followed by 5 full days of Ascending in a quiet meditative environment.  This event also includes the option to take part in a variety of activities and classes happening at the center during your stay. This includes the opportunity to  learn a light yoga-stretch routine or to   attend book readings & discussions and a few other activities that help support your practice and further your understanding of  the Art of Ascension, raising awareness and expanding consciousness.

A modest meal menu will be served along with a 24/7 snack & drink station available. There will be evening discussions with teachers designed for review, asking questions and expanding upon your personal practice of Ascension offered also.

Since getting new techniques is on a personal pace basis, any additional techniques received will cost extra. 

Event Fee:  $1250
​Fee includes: 10 nights accommodations,  all meals, and any classes & activities offered that you may wish to participate in during your stay.
Upon booking your retreat you will be given the opportunity to choose what you would like to include in your personal retreat's schedule.

From our Guest Book.....

"This was a perfect retreat that helped me re-center myself and enliven my practice, it went very fast, almost too fast!. Definitely recommended!".
"I'm so very glad I took this time for myself. I wasn't going to fit it into my busy schedule but it has been the best thing ever". I feel rested and re-charged and ready to return to work."

"My retreat was very helpful and I feel rested. And the reminder to use my eyes-open practice during my walks around the lake helped me realize how much i think when I walk, and now as i ascend during my walks i notice more peace and quiet. I am thankful for the deeper understanding of how and when to use my ascending in my life."

F A Q 's :

1. How many hours a day will I be Ascending closed-eye practice?
  A: Its best to Ascend as much as possible each day. This event is designed to experience longer hours of Ascending, so the more you can do so, the more benefits you receive and take home with you.  However, there will be several classes & activities available for you to participate in during your stay also. You can arrange  your schedule of activity as you wish, attending all or none.
​
2. Do you teach Yoga?
  A: As part of the retreat schedule, we provide (optional) time for light stretching, or yoga if you already use it in your life. We also offer  a simple light  yoga-stretch  class you may opt to join in.  (Please bring a yoga mat if you wish to utilize the stretch/Yoga time).

3. Is there Wi-fi and do I need my computer?
  A:  No, computers are not needed, and wi-fi is limited here at the Retreat Center. It is highly suggested that all cell phones be turned off during this short window of opportunity to give yourself some personal inner quiet time. However, should use of cell phone be necessary, we can arrange it and ask that you use the designated areas in order to respect the quiet space of others on the retreat.

4. What will I be eating?  
  A: We offer a set meal program and modest menu that supports longer hours of Ascending which may include: vegetables, fruits, salads, breads, chicken, and fish and dessert, all served in a way that supports individual choice. An Ascending Retreat meal program includes a lighter breakfast, snacks during the day, and a full dinner.
We respect the fact that there are as many perspectives on "eating" as there are people. Our cooks do their best to keep things simple for everyone attending, however, we are not set up to accommodate each individual's diet needs during the retreats. If you do have special health-diet needs or any specific questions about the menu, please discuss them with your event coordinator during registration.
