Silent Retreat with Vanessa:

Realization Through our Humanity & Within Everyday Life

May 7 – 9, 2010

Offered at Mount Madonna Center, Santa Cruz Mountains, California

"This retreat is an opportunity to devote all attention to recognizing and experiencing the Unity as it appears within you and throughout your life. This is an invitation to deepen into the heart of Living, to return to what is essential: to redefine the purpose of this Life and realize the Gift within this human experience. This Retreat is for those sincerely willing to realize God in every speck and expression of creation, throughout the human condition and woven into everyday life."

Retreat with Vanessa offers an authentic and healing space to inquire, share and cultivate an inner relationship with Truth. This is a Retreat of immersion: living awake to the Presence within every moment, every task, and every day. Solitary inquiry, study of nature and noble Silence allow for direct experience within.

Vanessa’s teaching inspires the realization that there is no true separation: that all beings have a direct contact with what is real and alive at the heart of all matter. Time spent in Retreat is a celebration of remembrance, recognition, and gratitude.

Vanessa has devoted her life to humanitarian service and sharing her message of realizing God through the study of nature inside and out. In 2001, she started the Amala Foundation to unite communities in loving service and foster sustainable peace initiatives that begin within.
