Retreat with me in the North Cascades this november!

This weekend is an exploration of the philosophy of endurance—and the practices that help us keep doing what we love for a long time.

Because whether you’re climbing mountains, riding bikes, skiing all winter, or simply navigating a body that’s accumulated some mileage, endurance isn’t just about pushing harder. It’s knowing when to work, when to soften, and how to recover well enough to keep going.

We’ll look at what has to teach us about the balance of effort and ease (sthira & sukha) and how to try hard without forcing or collapsing. We’ll practice staying present with sensation, without turning it into a story. And true endurance includes recovery, so we’ll treat restoration as part of the work.
