Presented by Rev. Nicholas Bartoli

This retreat offers a space to explore the universal nature of nondual awareness through the lens of various spiritual traditions, including Christian mysticism, Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, and Sufism. We will dive into the teachings that point to the direct experience of Oneness/God, where all distinctions dissolve and the boundaries between self and other, divine and human, disappear. Participants will engage with texts, meditation practices, and guided inquiry, moving beyond conceptual understanding to felt knowing.

COST | $75, lunch included
