Dear friends,
 
Non-dual spiritual teacher Don Oakley, will be leading a 2-night weekend retreat "Why Postpone Your Enlightenment" with his wife, Patty Bottari, at Well Being Retreat Center, September 19 - 21, 2025.
 
Well Being is located 1.5 hours east of Knoxville and 2.5 hours from Asheville.
 

Retreat Overview

"Most people imagine enlightenment to be difficult, far away, and only for a select few. It is difficult to realize only because it is so simple, so near, and already complete as our essential nature. How then do we recognize what we already are? It is not a matter of adopting some belief system nor committing to a lifetime of striving. But it does require self-honesty, openness and humility. And a certain amount of courage. Why wait to discover your birthright?"

Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for anyone with a sincere interest in discovering what this life is truly about and who, or what, is living it.

The retreat is non-denominational, but Don will draw on useful pointers from all major wisdom traditions.

No previous meditation experience or spiritual practice is required, although the program will offer value to practitioners with all levels of experience.

What You Can Expect

  • Don will speak during periods of guided meditations, discourses, and dialogue sessions.

  • Patty will lead the silent sitting (meditation) periods.

  • All the sessions are voluntary, of course, but we ask that you remain engaged and present for the duration of the retreat.
