Centering Our Lives in Psychological and Spiritual Wellbeing
1-Month Visioning Series and Weekend Retreats

The world and humanity up to this point has been largely focused on amending the projections of our consciousness- creating a world around us that makes us and those we love feel safer, more significant, happier, more engaged. Today enough of us have begun to orbit our attention towards the source of consciousness, bringing our sense of self into awareness and all the pain unlocking entirely new plains of psychological where we and the world arise from at the level of experience, and havperception and e choice- and now recognize that there are some discovering that trying to control external xirxumstances only goes so fwhere the world and our incenter our lives at the While thwe can be grateful for all the wayse have been extroardinarliy successful in many domains.

Resonance is the heart's connective life force that brings experience into wholeness. It is that undeniable sense of “this feels right”, even amidst discomfort and the unknown. It is the space for growth always available between our habits and the uniqueness of the moment.

Over the weekend, we learn to integrate resonance into all ways of being- in stillness and silence, in movement, through voice... We learn to appreciate how it arises at different levels of our experience:

At the ultimate level: whenever consciousness fully experiences itself without hatred, dissociation or greed
At the personal level: whenever we make the most loving, open, natural choice available to us whilst firmly honoring our boundaries.
At the interpersonal level: whenever we are fully authentic and able to hold ourselves and the other person in a balanced, loving way.
At the collective level: whenever we are attuned to the dynamics of the group and environment and feel like we are able to express our uniqueness without needing to overly-control.
At the global level: whenever we are aware and aligned with the collective stories that shape our reality, without blindly following them.
At the cosmic level: whenever we feel that we are an expression of life and not separate from all that is.

The structure of the weekend mirrors a river moving towards the ocean, with more structure at the beginning to provide direction and more open, intuitive exploration as we ground more deeply and expansively into the flow of resonance.

The retreats encourage sovereignty in one's personal growth. Instead of teachers leading, a group of committed friends, all called to live in resonance continuously, open the space for others to connect and be guided by their own heart's wisdom.

Everything is offered in generosity, including food and lodging. Vegan meals are provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own food to meet different dietary needs.

Anyone is welcome to donate if they feel called to support this work.

Currently there are insufficient finances to organize these retreats. If you wish to submit a donation before Friday, please call or text 206-495-1669 to discuss money transfer.

Spiritual paradigm-shift: the heart's resonance is one's unique pathway to realization beyond any technique, tradition or belief system- encouraging

Shifts our orientations from "life is happening to me" to "life is happening as me", until the heart is fully open, our lives emanate spirit in every moment, and the separateness of self has completely reintegrated with life and its source.

Maximum 10-15 people per retreat- applications required.

Vegan meals provided (special dietary items can be brought in by participants)

Consists of 5 sequential stages:

Each retreat is an evolution of the last, distilling the most resonant wisdom from the previous one.

First retreat grounded by Maddy, Jeremy, Satyena? and others to be determined?

Weekly Visioning

Those who have completed a weekend retreat are welcome to apply to participate in the Visioning Series- a month-long group visioning process exploring 8 domains of life and "What they would look like in a community, society or world that was centered in psychological and spiritual wellbeing?”

By embracing this question, we bring much-needed awareness to the systems and collective stories we live and participate in, clarifying where they benefit us and where they don't meet our needs.

The vision we receive will not only enrich us personally but will also act as the next-steps blueprint for Starseed, a 150 acre retreat center in Savoy, MA and the emerging Communities in Resonance in Puerto-Rico and beyond.

Visionings will be online and in-person.

Help Starseed Thrive Fundraiser

For the last 37 years Satyena Ananda has dedicated herself to personal transformation for planetary transformation. She has poured her heart into Starseed Healing Sanctuary, a breathtaking 150 acre retreat center in the Berkshires where her children grew and she calls home.

Over the years, Satyena has welcomed countless people to Starseed for rejuvenation and connection. In her late 70’s she is no longer able to run the programs she used to, especially after COVID. Several buildings on the land need rejuvenation including her house whose foundation repairs she cannot afford.

Despite all these challenges, she has still managed to welcome us to Starseed, to host retreats, all on a donation basis- the first time she has ever done that.

If you feel called to, please consider donating towards the Fundraiser

Sanctuaries

As we work to create a world that supports our psychological and spiritual wellbeing, we recognize that along the way, there is a need for sanctuaries where we can easily and affordably restore, recenter and align- whether for a few hours, days, weeks, months or even years.

This platform shares all the sanctuaries available. Having just launched, there are only a few listed now. Ultimately, we envision a network larger than any commercial house-sharing program, all offered freely with opportunities to donate towards the vision and its participants if one is called to.

Connected to the sanctuaries will be a support network of friends on the path, each called to share their gifts and callings freely from the heart, aligned in their shared volition to support psychological and spiritual wellbeing.

On the platform, you will be able see if they can connect in-person or online. Some may be able to help baby sit, cook or clean for you so that while you are at the sanctuary, you can focus on yourself. Others may offer therapeutic support, share their understanding of a particular practice or skill, or help you navigate a physical ailment. The important thing is that the connection is mutually enriching and feels resonant. Like the sanctuaries, you have the opportunity to donate towards the vision and their work if you feel called to.

Staying Connected

Fundraiser for Satyena and Starseed: Satyena is in her late 70’s and lives alone with a small social security, and less energy than she used to have for running retreats and programs at Starseed. Several buildings on the land need rejuvenation and more spaces are needed for long-term residents (kindred spirits as she calls them) to join her and steward the land. Details on the costs of all this will come in the days ahead but you are welcome donate at any time to help her and Starseed thrive.
