Explore how the more you meditate, the more effective you are in the world—and the more effective you are, the deeper your meditation practice becomes.

There's more to what meditation can do for you, says Toby Sola. Join him and find out how to integrate meditation into real-life situations.

The vision for this workshop is easy to understand, but infinitely powerful. Toby Sola helps you create a feedback loop between your meditation practice and your ability to make the world a better place. So the more you meditate, the more effective you are in the world. And the more effective you are, the deeper your meditation practice becomes.

Start by learning to gradually extend the out-breath to last one minute. This significantly slows your physiology, which in turn settles the mind. Then, focus on exercises that integrate mindfulness into everyday experiences, such as:

  • Decision-making
  • Being trustworthy in relationships
  • Clarifying your core values
  • Your career
  • Everyday love and gratitude
  • Dealing with pleasure and pain

This 5-day workshop includes all the support you need to do practice effectively: lecture, guided meditation, question-and-answer sessions, time in nature, poetry readings, delicious food, plenty of time to sleep, daily movement practices, and perhaps most importantly, a sense of community. You leave this retreat with friendships based on shared values and growth.

This workshop is for everyone. Whether you’ve never meditated before or have spent thousands of hours practicing, you learn new and powerful ways to integrate mindfulness into your life.

More Information

Note: After registration, you receive free access to Toby's Brightmind Meditation app. It’s not required, but it's suggested that you make it to Level 2 graduation in the app prior to the retreat.

The workshop begins Sunday at 7:30 p.m. and has extended evening sessions.
