Where’s the Venue?
The Modern Meditation for Teachers Retreat will be held at Shrine Mont, a conference and retreat center located in the quaint village of Orkney Springs, a community in western Shenandoah County, Virginia, about 2.5 hours from the DC metro area. Shrine Mont is well known for its welcoming hospitality, comfort food, quiet location and plenty of porches for rocking.
What are the Accommodations?

What will I get out of this retreat?
You will explore the skills, the science, and the techniques of modern meditation designed for people like you, with busy lives and racing minds. You will get plenty of time to practice what you are learning, through mini-meditations and longer guided meditations. The goal is to give you the knowledge and skills to start practicing on your own, and to give you practical ideas on how to bring moments of rest into your classroom.
