Settle into the quiet sanctuary of your inner landscape and rediscover the steady wisdom of the heart. Join beloved teachers Missy Brown and Stephen Cope for a three-day retreat devoted to the deep exploration of loving-kindness—within yourself and in the world around you.

Eastern contemplative traditions teach that an awakened heart blossoms through sincere practice. This nourishing weekend offers space to slow down and immerse yourself in Metta—lovingkindness—an ancient path that cultivates compassion for yourself and others, steadies the nervous system, and helps you meet life with greater patience, care, and love.

Throughout our time together, you will experience:

• Seated, walking, and loving-kindness meditation practices that awaken compassion and presence
• Gentle mindful movement and embodied breathwork to soothe and regulate the nervous system
• Restorative offerings including yoga nidra, crystal sound bowl healing, and guided self-compassion reflection
• Journaling and time in nature for grounding and integration
• Interactive experiential sessions that cultivate somatic awareness with tenderness and clarity

You are invited to join us for this intentional pause—an opportunity to be fully immersed in heart-centered practice. Give yourself the gift of time and space to reconnect, replenish, and return to what matters most.

No prior experience is needed—only a willingness to slow down, breathe, and come home to yourself. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of steadiness, an open and resilient heart, and practical tools to gently weave into everyday life—reminding you that inner calm is always within reach.

NOTE: Stephen will lead one livestream session and one on campus session in this program; the majority of the program will be led by Missy.
