Summoning the Unseen – Summer Retreat 2022

“Poetry is just the evidence of life. 

If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.”

~ Leonard Cohen

 

Each day of retreat will include two 30-minute meditation periods in the beautiful, traditional Boulder Zen Center, as well as 2 Summoning the Unseen workshop periods (including poetry and meditation teachings from Brooke, guided discussion and interpersonal connection, and time to write freely and with prompts.)

 

Workshops will take place at the Boulder Guest House, connected to the Zen Center, all of which is located walking distance from Boulder’s charming Pearl Street and Downtown. 

 

Boulder is magnificent in June ~ Summer is in full bloom and the natural beauty of the mountains and charm of this vibrant town are vitalizing. Our location is also just across the street from Naropa University, a 1-minute walk to the Boulder Creek Path, and a 10-minute drive to Chautauqua and Flatirons hiking trails.

 

Light breakfast with coffee and tea will be served each morning and lunches will be catered by Boulder’s own Radiant Kitchen, serving amazingly delicious, locally grown, nutrient dense meals. Vegan or plant-forward + meat options will be available.
