Opening to Boundless Love Retreat
Miranda Macpherson ~ Boone, NC

September 24 @ 5:00 pm - September 28 @ 12:00 pm
We are pleased to share with you a Retreat with Miranda Macpherson and a small group of 30 participants for a deeply transformative residential 5 day retreat full of profound spiritual teaching, supported self-inquiry, meditation, chanting and prayer in the stunning fall setting of the highly acclaimed
Art of Living Retreat Center, Boone, North Carolina.
Love is the divine medicine that helps us to heal and thrive on every level, and yet it is so much more that something we get or give. This retreat invites you to relax the search for love through particular circumstances, delve into beautiful teachings and practices that guide us how to open up, step beyond our habitual stories of separation and experience the nondual state of Boundless Love as who you truly are and always have been.

You do not need to know what is happening,
or where it is all going.
What you need to recognize are the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment,
And to embrace them with courage, faith and love.
The world is transparent and
the Divine is shining through all the time”.
~Thomas Merton
