Book now for our Sat, Oct 3 Front Range day meditation retreat at Buckhorn Retreat Center in Bellvue, CO. It's only 45 minutes from Fort Collins and two hours from Denver. Enjoy a relaxing and peaceful day of meditation in the mountains. It will feel like you're a world away, and yet still close to home.

The retreat will be led by Heruka KMC Resident Teacher Kerrin Perniciaro, and will be concerned with the topic of overcoming overwhelm.

In this busy modern world we live in, many people find themselves surrounded by distractions, demands from others, pressures from work, and just generally caught up in the fast pace of life, with overpacked schedules, and continuous input from electronic devices. Add to that the typical challenges of life such as the latest news alerts, illness and financial stress, and even enjoyable challenges such as raising kids and hosting family dinners. Sometimes the demands on us seem far greater than we can handle, and we can feel under attack from all directions! Is it possible to find a quiet, centered place to dwell within the chaos of our busy, modern lives?

Come to our first annual Front Range Away Day Retreat at Buckhorn Retreat Center in Bellvue, Colorado and learn how to apply Buddha' s teachings to overcome this sense of "overwhelm" that so many of us are experiencing.

Saturday, Oct 3 | 9:00am-5:00pm

381 Old Camp Road
Bellvue, CO 80512
