The Transformative Power of Sacred Places Retreat Program
What constitutes a sacred place? It is a place where the quality of the pervading energy encourages being completely "in the Now," encourages immersion in the Ocean of Being, encourages the flow of love through all beings and all things. In this workshop we will explore the meaning and power of sacred places in the world, in our area, and in our own homes.

Opening the Heart: Exploring Pain and Love Retreat Program
This is one of Shining Dawn's most powerful workshops. The power of pain and love is immense, and the heart is the great center of absorption and transformation for both.

Portals to the Present Retreat Program
There are many portals or doorways in consciousness from the realm of the illusory world to the reality of the soul, timelessness, and the ever present "I am." In this workshop, we introduce awareness practices, simple meditations, techniques for opening the heart, and immersion in music as portals that help move us from fixation on the past or future into the eternal NOW.
