Self-Compassion as a Lifeboat Home: Remembering the Heart of Who We Are

With Caverly Morgan

October 5–9, 2026

Esalen, Big Sur, CA

What if the love you’ve been searching for is already here — waiting to be remembered?

In this retreat, you’ll explore self-compassion as a lifeboat home — a steady refuge when self-criticism, striving, or overwhelm take hold.

Rather than trying to “fix” yourself, you’ll be invited to gently shift your relationship to experience, discovering the loving awareness that is already present beneath conditioned patterns that do not serve you.


The Body as a Gateway to Peace

With Caverly Morgan, Davin Youngs, Jess “Jay” Jarris and Sam Hammer

December 7 - 12, 2026
Whidbey Institute, WA

The body knows things the mind has forgotten. Our experience of the body changes when we stop perceiving it as something we possess—as solid, dense, simply made of matter. When this perception shifts, our experience of reality shifts with it.
