A one-day retreat to shift towards ease & peacefulness.
Saturday, April 6th | Primary NYC | Guided by The Path Founder & CEO Dina Kaplan
11:00am - 6:15pm, including lunch, snacks, & an optional celebratory dinner party.
This retreat is for all levels from beginner to longtime practitioners.
Join us for a meditation retreat to let go :: and move towards feeling relaxed, peaceful, & present. Together we’ll enjoy expertly guided meditations, inspiring Buddhist wisdom, meals, snacks, discussion — and the delight of being in community. Emerge feeling expanded, refreshed, and with awesome new friends!
Through mindfulness and meditation, we can train our minds to be more even. To feel joy and clear — and not let others set us off our path for the day.
With this, we can live with more delight. Moving through our day with kindness, relaxation, and compassion.
On this retreat, in community, we will cultivate a feeling of clarity. Learn to live with more lightness. And have fun, too. Dina lives with an infectious joy, and we would love to have you join us & immerse yourself in her positive energy. We are excited to find inspiration and wisdom to live with more ease — and delight.
We are welcoming a maximum of 25 retreaters, so please RSVP soon if you’d like to join us. All spots are non-refundable.

We will gather at the beautiful coworking space Primary in downtown Manhattan: 26 Broadway.
