Inner Awakening

Alone-Together — retreats for people doing the work of change.

“If you as a human being transform yourself, you affect the consciousness of the rest of the world” – J Krishnamurti

Changemakers often fall into two categories: those committed to outer change through action. And those committed to change through an inner revolution, such as meditation.

At Emergence Foundation, we see both as equally important. Lasting change in ourselves and in the world at large, happens when we bring the inner and outer together, strengthening the inner foundation for meaningful change. At EF we are finding ever-evolving ways to facilitate this possibility.

This begins with connection—with coming together with others in a place of unity and trust. And from that place finding out who we are and who we can be.

Spring Retreat, 2026

The thread we follow is listening

Our retreats are focussed on giving social actors the opportunity to discover or recover the experience of being—our fundamental nature. Here we can uncover the space, sensitivity, and depth of trust in life, to engage openly with the world in all its chaos and complexity.

Meditation

For anyone, at any level. Letting go, and discovering the experience of being.

Inquiry

Facilitated conversations on what matters. Interest in what we don’t already know, unafraid of our own voice.

Conscious movement

The intelligence of the body. Simple, embodied practice, approached with care.

Attuning to nature

Waking the senses to our inseparability from the natural, more-than-human world.

Through the simple, profound practices of meditation, inquiry, conscious movement, and attuning to nature, we offer our retreat participants the chance to regenerate at the deepest level—to discover and bring the fullness of ourselves to a world that desperately needs our creative engagement.
