An annual time for spiritual renewal and self-purification is found in many religious traditions. The season of Lent is a 40-day period in which we engage in greater self-discipline so that we may better know ourselves and serve others. By giving up our attachments and letting go of our unwholesome habits, we can find the freedom to change and become who we are truly meant to be.
This retreat will run for 2 days only and is structured so that you can join live sessions across most time zones. If you are unable to join live, you can watch the recordings which will be made available shortly after each session. By registering for the retreat, you will have access to the recordings for one year.Â
