Emancipating Hearts and Minds Retreat

Through the deep practice of Vipassana meditation, we will examine the fetters & yokes that keep us bound from our full and authentic selves.

At Sangha House NOLA, we are committed to nurturing the powers of transformation & healing within diverse communities. This retreat creates the conditions conducive for the reflection and spiritual growth needed to emancipate our hearts and minds.

Participants will engage in daily meditation, deep looking, and teachings to strengthen their capacity to respond wisely to the sufferings of the world. As we gather during this significant time leading up to Juneteenth, we move forward in our mission to bring about a world where all beings may find true liberation.
