7-Day Meditation Retreat (Hillsboro, Oregon)
We'd love for you to join us this fall at Scholls Valley Lodge, nestled in the rolling hills of Hillsboro, Oregon, for a seven-day meditation retreat.
At Lower Lights, we take a distinctive approach to meditation — one rooted in the ancient wisdom of mindfulness, Christianity, and Buddhism, but also informed by modern insights from developmental psychology. The result is a practice that meets you where you are and supports real, lasting change.
Sohbet at Bell Hall (Practitioners Only)
In the Sufi tradition, there is a practice called sohbet, which literally means “conversation” or “talk”, but more broadly refers to spiritual companionship. It’s the infused warmth you feel when you get together with people you love and share about what really matters, all with an eye on our highest potential as divine humans. Come join us for a night of music, poetry, food, and meditation.
