Upcoming retreat: Wisdom and Compassion with Jan Owen
April 1-5, 2026, Xo Ki’in Retreat Center, Mexico
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Xo Ki’in Retreat Center in the UNESCO Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, this retreat focuses on the aliveness of connection, also known as compassion. Chenrezig (Tibetan), or Avalokiteshvara (Sanskrit), is the Bodhisattva of Compassion and embodies the loving-kindness of all Buddhas. The Chenrezig meditation practice, or sadhana, is used to cultivate compassion and reveal one’s own innate Buddha nature. The retreat will take place at Anna Woods’ quiet and intimate retreat center on the water just south of Tulum, known as Xo Ki’in.
All are welcome.
