By healing/bringing my wound into consciousness, I am now ‘in certainty’ about my mission and feel the energies within me aligning in that direction.

ABOUT

THERE’S A REASON YOU CAN LEARN FROM EVERYTHING:
YOU HAVE BASIC WISDOM, BASIC INTELLIGENCE, AND BASIC GOODNESS.
-PEMA CHODRON

In our aspirations of becoming fully human, we find ourselves always changing, always growing. And if we’re blessed, at certain times in our journey we find ourselves faced with opportunities for transformation, of moving ourselves in mind, heart and soul toward greater and lasting levels of inner peace, meaning, purpose and joy.

The Warrior Monk training has been refined and practiced over 17 years and in more than 100 retreats, with the intention of supporting men and women who find themselves ready for this kind of fundamental shift in relationship to their self, others and the world. This is our purpose, and our commitment.

Warrior Monk is a truly experiential and integrative retreat. Participants join staff in co-creating a safe, connected and powerful container, where we experientially incorporate old and newly created practices of the world’s wisdom traditions—East and West, ancient and modern, spiritual and psychological.

Over four days and nights we weave together teaching, mindfulness, process work, movement, play, and heartfelt and supportive sharing to create a cauldron for each individual’s desired development.

We’ve created a deep immersion experience that participants consistently and paradoxically describe as timeless and restorative, yet intense and stirring. There is quiet and tender peacefulness, contrasted at times with raucous joy and fun. The emotional rhythm is one of ecstasy to sobriety and back again – mirroring this human experience of being fully alive.

In a grounded and loving collaboration, we end up creating an elegant, connected and powerful experience that provides the energy, support and grace needed to provide deep and lasting growth. Together, we make practical the work of evolving individual authenticity, compassion and spirituality.

THE WORK

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.

PUT MORE SIMPLY, THE WORK IS ABOUT:

  • opening our hearts

  • expanding our mind’s flexibility

  • increasing kindness and compassion to others, and self

  • bringing more focus to our purpose

  • becoming more present to life, with joy and gratitude

Participants range in age from 18 to 86 and come from all walks of life and from around the world. This work is best empowered if you’ve previously done some personal, spiritual or psychological development. If in doubt, please ask.

I have rarely laughed that hard. It’s hard to believe that we’re all so wonderfully talented.

I think this is a magical, transformative, vitally important experience –
beautifully designed and executed.

I got more of what I need to continue my journey. I see more clearly who I am and how
I have clung to my attachments. I’m clearer about where I am going and with whom
– my connection is strong with this community of souls.

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.

Warrior Monk is an enigma. An inexplicable experience that flows with meaning. Five days to slow down, breathe, reflect, clear out, focus, and redefine. I’m sure each person’s experience was uniquely different woven with our own truth, yet experiencing it together. Not only am I looking at my future with fresh eyes, I can appreciate where I am in this moment as well. Feeling grounded, open, and connected do not seem to fade. I am so grateful for the gifts of this opportunity.

Warrior Monk is very well put together and presented. It has an extremely high intention and it is truly designed to bring people of great spiritual development to an even higher and deeper psycho-spiritual level. Thank you.

I received clarity of purpose and concrete goals to put my mission into action.

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!

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

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

An amazing experience! My work on personal mission and goal-setting has been life-altering!

I reconnected with who I ‘really’ am and why I’m ‘really here’ as Warrior Monk pulled
all the bits and pieces I have learned in other trainings into a more fully integrated whole.

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.

Very spiritual, motivational, held with utmost dignity and respect. Amazingly well thought and designed.

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.

The Warrior Monk Training offered me an opportunity to learn about living consciously in my personal life, work and relationships. I gained a deeper sense of the sacredness in
my every day life and continue to benefit from the tools I learned.

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

The wonder is that I have been able to look beyond my voice and hear what my heart says, to be open to my soul and to give joyful honor to my spirit. The journey is incredible, even though I do not yet know where it will take me. I am so grateful for the power, wisdom and caring you have brought to my experience. Thank you.

The Warrior Monk Training is an extraordinary tool with which people can recreate themselves anew as spiritual activists, igniting the spiritual impulse while at the same
time clarifying their mission in the everyday world. Powerful stuff, and an enormous

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

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.

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.

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