The Work

I awaken each morning torn between a desire to save the world and a desire to savor the world.
This makes it hard to plan the day.

The Warrior Monk Retreat Is For Men And Women Who Find Themselves Ready For A Significant Shift, And Are Willing To Devote The Precious Time, Energy, Heart And Intention Needed To Step More Fully Into Life

Some Of The Principle Components Integrated, Explored And Practiced Together:

In order to significantly grow we must learn to make our mind an ally; reducing the chatter, unproductive judgments and distractions
To become freer to step into our authenticity, open-heartedness and purpose, we must become less controlled by attachment, aversion and doubt. Through exercises we’ll get to this freedom.
For greater compassion of self and others, the life energy we have trapped in issues of forgiveness must be freed and reclaimed. We’ll do this through a tender and safe process.
Our desire to walk through life with confidence and courage requires that we face the self-limiting beliefs about ourselves that were born in our past. Through exercises, we undertake the challenge of retrieving the life-sustaining emotional energy and basic goodness of our past, while not dwelling on or romancing our wounds.
A strong and ongoing relationship with our own personal spirituality is critical. This is different for each of us, and in accessing and nurturing what’s authentic, we each find our sacred ground.
Following the philosophy that we find our greatest fulfillment through the pursuit of meaning and joy, we explore our longing to deeply open and follow our heart. We re-learn and re-ignite our authentic calling and mission.
Mindfulness training at Warrior Monk is practiced through sitting meditation, movement, eating, dance, and in the spoken and written expressions of what opens in our heart and awareness as the days in retreat-community unfold.

I experienced a joyful place and felt moved by the reverence of the sense of sacred.

Rich Tosi

The Warrior Monk Training called me to sit still with my deep quiet nature and to be present to my soul voice. I experienced a beautiful blend of spirit and soul that led me to
a more focused commitment to my life mission.

Marlene Nappa

Warrior Monk held up a highly polished mirror to the beliefs keeping me from the full expressions of my power. I recommend it without reservation to anyone ready to take
a giant step.

Gregg Levoy

I leave this training with a better understanding of spirit and soul and how to access
these energies within (a work in progress). Also very importantly, a solid mission statement with very concrete goals that I now take out into the world as part of doing service. Thank you all.

Michael Lacoe

I found my spiritual center and learned techniques for finding my way back when
I become lost. I learned I create my own reality and more specifically, I create the barriers that separate me from others and from God. We all made magic!

Shawn Cummings

This training is an intense self focus experience with a spiritual motif that crosses all denominations and beliefs in a thoughtful and soulful way.

Ralph Caraffa

I remember my sense of place in the world. I’ll never again doubt that I belong – I matter.

Andrea Burleson

Warrior Monk provided me with an “away-from-the-world” experience I had never known before. It put me in touch with the sacred. I became aware how much of my life
I had been sleep-walking, and have been living more consciously ever since.

Richard Wiener

Warrior Monk created a sacred space in which I laughed, cried, danced, meditated, chanted, and did my work. I continue the spiritual practice I discovered at Warrior Monk and find it grounds me in living my life as best I can in each moment of each day.

Marilyn Wanner

Being a psychotherapist as well as an individual on my own path to development,
I’ve come to greatly appreciate the integral approach to spirituality and personal growth. There are many places and books to learn about integral work, but Warrior Monk is

Harry Pepper

I released more heart-break and shame and now know I create my own reality from
a more grounded, loving and beautiful place.
