Retreats and Programs that Open the Heart

Community Events

Discover gatherings, retreats, and programs that invite you deeper into the Practice of Presence. These events connect with various aspects of the resources we provide—Choosing Presence, the Practicing Presence app, and the Awakening to Presence online course—helping you bring awareness, peace, and connection into your daily life.

We’re glad to share these events as a resource for our community. Some are hosted by outside organizations or individuals; unless noted, Choosing Presence isn’t responsible for their content, leadership, or outcomes. For event details, contact the listed organizers directly. Questions or want to submit an event for consideration? You can do so here.
