Meditation Retreats at Spirit Fire Meditative
Retreat Center
With Donna Mitchell-Moniak
2010 Dates
- June 30 - July 4 (4 day)
- October 12-16 (4 day)
Awareness meditation is a new, practical, effective, and immediately accessible form of meditation. We expand breath and refine our senses while holding an asana of deep inner silence. Awareness meditation offers a unique experience of heart and being. Heart-mind is taken beyond concept to lived luminescence. All levels of meditative practice welcome.
“I was astonished how day after day Donna guided us on a path to Radical Enlightenment. It was all there if we were paying attention!"

I attended the Awareness Meditation Retreat outside of Boulder, CO in May 2007 with Donna Mitchell-Moniak
teaching, sharing and compassionately guiding our diverse
group of conscious seekers. Very subtly, as if with tiny steps
over the weekend, I awakened with a new and limitlessness sense
of Heart, finding a loving
flow of life within that's always present beyond our artificial
sense of self and ego. This was the beginning of a new and
exciting journey that is still unfolding and revealing itself
with blessings. David Fitch
Learning to meditate is like learning to read!
Broader understandings and expanded opportunities open to
us through meditation. But, like reading, we first have to
learn the foundational steps that will make a lifetime of meditating
with all its benefits possible.
Awareness Meditation
is the form of meditation and conscious living taught by
Donna to many people over the last 20 years. They and their
lives are the testament of its efficacy in opening one to
the fullness of oneself and the depth of one’s
being. This practice used
to be called Heart-Breath-Awakeness
which describes the technique and result but is a mouthful!
Awareness Meditation is both simple and radical. It is to learn to live as a heart beating in the world, aware and attuned; and to learn to breathe freely with the flow of Life.

I think the retreat was very special: mostly silent, sacred, Mother Nature, and Donna’s total understanding of what the group needed to know and practice. She was gentle but firm in her direction and (once again) teachings came out "new,” direct, simple, and GENIUS! This was/is the fast track for Everyman.”

Awareness Awakens is true to its name. There is much that we do not recognize that is beckoning us to greater awareness. This level of practice is immediately applicable throughout the day, not just during one’s sitting or walking practice. We awaken, and no matter how aware or awake we think we are, we awaken to more.
Where: Spirit Fire Meditative Retreat Center, Leyden, MA
Cost: $300 food and lodging; teachings and instruction are by donation ($50/day suggested). $100 deposit required.
