About the Retreat

This unique event will feature spontaneous discourses by both Alaya and Don, guided meditations with Don, mind/body inquiry with Alaya, Q&A with both Alaya and Don as well as some (limited) opportunity for individual sessions with either Alaya or Don. The teachings will come from a particular tradition; they are non-dual and come from direct realization. 

As St. Francis of Assisi said, "What we are looking for is what is looking."

About Alaya

Following a spontaneous awakening twenty years ago, Alaya has deepened her understanding by immersing herself in the teachings of Neelam (in the lineage of Ramana Maharshi) and with personal counseling with Adyashanti. Alaya currently lives and teaches in Asheville. More information can be found HERE.

About Don

Don is the Founding Director of Well Being Retreat Center and has studied intensively with both Eckhart Tolle and Adyashanti. He currently serves on Adyashanti's Open Gate Sangha Board of Directors. Don holds Zoom discourses with Q&A on Tuesday evenings, which are also available weekly on YouTube and as podcasts on Amazon, Apple and Spotify.
