Individual and Small Group Private Retreats

Part of the mentoring relationship with Wayne includes a custom-tailored retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The retreat is for both individuals engaging in the mentoring path with Wayne, or for groups.

An individual, personalized retreat is made of unhurried days, mindfully crafted to serve you or your group's  particular needs and intentions. Through collaboration, inquiry, contemplation, curiosity, and exploration, we will listen together, with an easy, merciful compassion, for how to reveal and nourish your true nature and deepest happiness. Here, you may reconnect with your own innate curiosity, and simply live more gently and slowly for a while.

This sanctuary in time is also supported by a rich circle of bodyworkers, yoga teachers, meditation teachers (available if you choose to use them) – all the while retaining generous time for hiking, creativity, nothing in particular, and sleep. After the retreat, follow up sessions help integrate, into the real soil of our daily lives, whatever seeds may be planted or discovered during the retreat experience.

A retreat is no mere selfish indulgence; it is a radical act. By offering a fierce no to the relentless demands of the world, you claim a radical yes to more honorably sustain a potent, essential wholeness, and take hold of a deep, healing stillness, not only for ourselves, but for the frantic, desperate achings of those close to us, those we love.  As Yeats reminds us in The Celtic Twilight: 

"We can make our minds so like still water
That beings gather about us that they may see,
It may be, their own images,
And so live for a moment with a clearer,
Perhaps even with a fiercer life
Because of our quiet."

"Wayne Muller draws the lineage of many rich, spiritual teachings through his fine heart to offer healing to those in need."
