AN IMPERFECT, IMPERSONAL, IMPERMANENT MEDITATION RETREAT
with Mikey Livid and Andrew Chapman
St. Mary’s Sewanee
770 St. Mary's Lane
Sewanee, TN 37375
LEARN MORE & SIGN UP HERE: https://www.wildheartmeditationcenter.org/events/an-imperfect-impersonal-impermanent-meditation-retreat-with-mikey-livid-and-andrew-chapman

At the core of the Buddha’s teachings are the Three Marks of Existence: unsatisfactoriness, not-self, and impermanence. While hearing about these unavoidable aspects of life might sound daunting, putting these truths into practice can be a source of relief. They help us stop struggling against reality and begin giving life full permission to be imperfect, impersonal, and impermanent.

Our focus during this retreat will be vipassanā, or insight meditation. This is the practice of looking deeply into our direct experience with a mindful awareness. By observing sensations, thoughts, and emotions as they arise and pass, we begin to see the natural flow of life more clearly. This clarity supports us in meeting ourselves with wisdom and compassion, reducing suffering and opening space for greater freedom.

The retreat will be held in noble silence, creating an environment supportive of deep practice. Each day will include meditation instructions, Dharma talks, mindful movement, silent sitting and walking meditation, and group interviews to support your practice.

This retreat is open to both beginners and experienced meditators.

With devon + nico hase

https://www.wildheartmeditationcenter.org/events/the-middle-way-of-partnership-a-daylong-retreat

Partnership may be the most challenging spiritual practice we’ll ever undertake. We find ourselves stuck in familiar patterns—conflicts that circle endlessly, distance that feels impossible to bridge, or the exhausting swing between losing ourselves and pushing our partner away.

There’s a middle way: showing up with presence instead of reactivity, curiosity instead of judgment, and skillful engagement instead of avoidance or attack.

This daylong retreat explores four essential areas:
• Deep Listening – To yourself, your partner, and what’s needed between you
• Finding Balance – The dance between autonomy and connection
• Skillful Conflict – Moving beyond the “trance of nice” to engage difficulty with presence
• Cultivating Joy – Creating sustainable happiness that can weather life’s storms

Drawing from their upcoming book This Messy, Gorgeous Love and years of teaching together, devon and nico offer meditation-based practices for conscious relationship. Expect a balance of silence, guided meditation, teaching, reflective exercises, and partner practices—all designed to help you show up differently in love.

Whether you attend solo or with a partner, you’ll learn concrete skills you can bring to any relationship—romantic, family, or friendship.

Perfect for: Anyone wanting to move beyond reactive patterns into more conscious loving. No meditation experience required.

⸻
devon + nico hase are meditation teachers and authors of This Messy, Gorgeous Love: A Buddhist Guide for Lasting Partnership. They’ve been exploring the middle way of partnership—personally and in their teaching—for nearly 20 years.
