Why join this retreat

Aging brings wisdom, perspective, and a deeper understanding of what truly matters. Living Our Best Now! is a reflective and uplifting journaling retreat designed to support older adults in nurturing well-being, strengthening inner resilience, and celebrating life in the present moment. 

Through guided journaling, gentle movement, meditation, and meaningful conversations, participants will explore practices that support body, mind, and spirit. We will draw from Won Buddhist teachings to reflect on life and death with clarity and peace, cultivate gratitude as a daily way of living, and deepen our ability to listen to ourselves and one another with compassion.

Retreat participants will:

• Embrace a Broader View of Life and Death
• Cultivate Uplifting Habits of Mind and Body
• Learn Gentle Movement for Daily Integration
• Create a Daily Flow Rooted in Joy and Gratitude

Whether you are seeking renewal, companionship, spiritual reflection, or simply a restorative day for yourself, this retreat will offer tools to help you live each moment with presence, gratitude, and vitality.

Come journal, move gently, and rediscover the joy of living your best now.
