Eihei Dogen, the twelfth-century founder of Soto Zen, referred to meditation as a “Returning to Source.” Join Kritee and Eden, two Zen teachers and climate educators in the Rocky mountains of Colorado for a “Work That Reconnects” retreat held in a silent container in which we return to source together through meditation, embodied inquiry, nature kinship practices, relational mindfulness, and rituals from the Work That Reconnects. Resting in compassionate awareness, and listening deeply to the wilderness, within and out, we will restore our connection to source, our original consciousness, as the ground of equanimity, compassionate action, non-duality, kinship, and conscious response to the polycrisis we face today.

You feel burnt out and/or overwhelmed and need to recharge in an emotionally safe space in the mountains of Colorado where we gently witness and honor each other’s experience? You recognize that everything in this world is imbued with intelligence and sentience and that we belong to this intelligent web of life? You want to support embodied changemaking in response to the polycrisis we face today? Please come join us at the stunningly pristine and healing Rocky Mountain Ecodharma retreat center (RMERC) for a Work That Reconnects retreat held in a silent container designed for empowering anyone who cares about healing and belonging. You could be a parent, community organizer, healer, educator, activist, artist, scientist, journalist, lawyer, author or storyteller working to inspire visionary change.

No prior experience is necessary. All are welcome! Space is limited to an intimate group.
