The poet Mary Oliver posed the question: What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?Your true nature knows exactly what it is here to do. You just need to find the pause button that will allow you to listen to its voice.As we all start listening, we will become a force for good in the world, what Rumi called “a mighty kindness.”

Community

Taking a culture cleanse means stepping away from the clamor and chaos that bombards us in our everyday lives so that we can receive guidance from our true selves. We do this by immersing ourselves in nature and in a community of kindred spirits. Our co-hosts for this retreat are the dedicated team at the Imiloa Institute, an entity truly designed to resonate with our true nature:<ul> <li>We’ll be steeped in the wild beauty of the Costa Rican jungle.</li> <li>We’ll eat nourishing vegan comfort food at Imiloa’s “dry” campus (that means no alcohol or drugs—we did say this is a cleanse!).</li> <li>We’ll be surrounded by the sounds of birds and running water. And silence. And each other.</li></ul>
