Authenticity in an Artificial World: Mindfulness, Emotion, and Meaning
With Dave Smith

August 17 – 22, 2025

REGISTER: HERE

As we become endlessly distracted by the artificial, the search for authenticity becomes vital.

Contentment, meaning, and purpose have become fleeting ideas of a world forgotten. It does not have to be this way. The world-over is saturated with contemplative practices, structures of philosophy, and therapeutic methods that can point us directly towards personal transformation. Our inner worlds may truly be the final frontier.

In this immersive retreat, explore practices and perspectives from a range of traditions including Buddhism, emotional intelligence, existentialism, mindfulness and more. Over the course of several days together, we will develop and discuss the methods for cultivating an authentic happiness in this lifetime.

Suitable for both new and experienced practitioners. Participants from all backgrounds are welcome to attend.
