OVERVIEW
Music, Meditation and Mindfulness
at Breitenbush Hot Springs
November 8th-11th, 2018
“I am thrilled to be offering this weekend retreat at one of my favorite
places on the planet, Breitenbush Hot Springs, up in the old growth forest outside
of Detroit, OR. I used to live at this retreat center, and it was where I experienced
the most profound spiritual awakening of my life. Thus to bring a group here, to
dive deeply into the blissful stillness within through meditation, to chant our heart
open into effortless communion with Love, to deepen in mindfulness practice and soak
in the incredibly healing waters bubbling up from the heart of mother earth, this
will be a profoundly transforming weekend.
“Breitenbush has cozy cabins, numerous beautiful natural hot springs, an
incredible redwood sauna built right over lithium springs, a gorgeous meeting space
(we'll be in the beautiful forest shelter), a beautiful river right through the
property, and delicious homemade meals three times a day (included). You won't want to
leave!”
What people are saying...
“Attending Kathy's 2016 Heart Opening Retreat at Mount Shasta changed my life. I am so much more at peace with myself and the world. I see miracles everywhere, and it is so much easier to view things through the eyes of love. Kathy creates such a loving, safe environment for her retreats. It is like being magically transported to an oasis of peace. Her beautiful music touches my soul deeply, especially when I am in her presence. I am looking forward to experiencing Kathy's magical oasis over and over again in the future. Thank you, Kathy, with all my heart.”

What people are saying...
“Kathy's music and message radiate from a very loving, pure and authentic place. Her music is like listening to a lullaby...except instead of being lulled to sleep it stirs the heart to awakening and home. She gently and lovingly facilitated deeper reflection in her workshop exercises. She is an inspiration!”
