Join us for a day of deep stillness and sacred sound
at our community home, The Heartfield Collective.
This immersive retreat weaves three extended sessions of kiirtan and silent meditation — 45 minutes of devotional chant followed by 45 minutes of silent sitting, repeated throughout the day. The vibration of kiirtan opens the heart and softens the mind, allowing meditation to drop into profound presence. As we sit together in silence, our shared field of loving awareness deepens, amplifying the inner stillness and connection that can only arise through collective practice.
Facilitated by Mark Benson
Mark Benson has dedicated over 30 years to meditation and kiirtan. After spending nine years as a monk immersed in daily spiritual practice, he now brings that depth into everyday life — meeting its challenges with presence and compassion. His calm, grounded energy invites others to rest more deeply in stillness and the quiet joy within.
Please note: This is an intensive meditation experience consisting of three 3-hour sessions of kiirtan and meditation.
