Events & Retreats
The Way of Recognition experiences inspire and transform
The Way of Recognition offers unique experiences that spark creativity, aliveness and deep connection through inspiring and authentic conversations; interactive, revelatory exercises and guided, uplifting meditations.
The events are offered both online and in person, sometimes an evening, a day or a longer retreat. They blend music, poetry, prose, teaching and practice from exceptional creative sources to bring the mysterious and the extraordinary to life.
You will experience reality and honesty, and go to places that are astonishingly revelatory as well as sublimely joyous in yourself. At The Way of Recognition events we encourage open conversation and willingness to go into the shadows to find the light.
