The Nature of Reality

Day Retreat at Fort Worth Nature Center

Register Now

Join us for one of our highly popular nature center day retreats! Get out of the city, slow down, and enjoy a uniquely meaningful perspective. During this retreat we will explore the nature of reality. Through meditation, we can begin to view our selves, our world, and our life in a more realistic way. Then we can relax; because when we understand how to correctly relate to the world around us, everything starts to feel very peaceful and comfortable, balanced and harmonious. By taking an open-minded, honest perspective of how things exist, we begin to understand their nature.

Everyone is welcome. Whether you attend a few sessions, or the entire day, you will receive great benefit.

 Our schedule is listed below, and structured so that between meditations you can relax and peacefully enjoy nature.

Lunch: Unfortunately we cannot provide lunch at this event, but refreshments will be offered. To preserve a sense of retreat, we encourage you to stay onsite by bringing lunch with you.
