Attending Virtual Retreats
There are many benefits to taking part in our Virtual retreat and it will be a rewarding and life enriching experience. Attending will allow you the best seat in the house and an ability to feel as if you are there with Helen in person. You will have the ability to ask any questions you may have during the retreat via video conferencing and you will be able to interact with Helen. You are advised to find a quiet space to be in when you are on retreat and to treat it as closely as possible as if you were attending in person. ​​
​You are advised to cut down any unnecessary activities during retreat and to buy enough food to last you for the whole time. The more you can treat this time as you would if you were actually at the retreat physically the more you will get out of it. Eating simply, sleeping enough and drinking water during the retreat is best; this is not the time to try new cooking recipes, clean your house or have friends over. Helen asks that you engage in this retreat with the sincerity and conviction that she has to your awakening.
​Below are Testimonials from students who have attended Helen's Virtual Retreat.
"Thank you for a wonderful weekend of personal growth and peace. I really enjoyed meeting all of you and feel grateful I was able to join and be part of something so special. Helen’s kind heartedness and practical teaching was prefect for a beginner meditator like me. The added flexibility of a virtual setting also allowed me to participate in a meditation retreat despite having twin toddlers! 
Thank you again for a great retreat!
Namaste,"

"I just finished my first online retreat with Helen and my deep wish is that anyone whose heart longs for truth finds her.  She has distilled the path to make it so clear, so simple, so direct, so accessible. What she teaches is truly the direct path. I would say it is the true Direct Path. She has taken her own journey and has shown all the stumbling blocks and how to go through them.  I have never had such clear instruction from a teacher.  And she is so relatable ... she meets every being where they are at because she has been right there and remembers.  Before I met her I felt that it was still up to grace to somehow wave a magic wand and take me all the way through.  I now know I will go all the way with following her guidance. There was a guided inquiry in the retreat that was beyond any inquiry process I have ever heard. It became clear that this awakening is not only possible, it is inevitable and much easier to achieve than what I believed before meeting her.  I am so blessed to have found her."

"This life changing experience is accessible to everyone who finds themselves searching for "something"-  including beings like myself who are introverted and shy. I did not feel the need to be physically seen or heard, but knew I was participating fully and my true self was acknowledged in every moment. Given the intimate nature of this retreat, all I had to do was think about questions the mind had between sessions and, of course, they were answered.
The Qigong sessions are a perfect compliment to the teaching as a way to move energy through the form, open the heart and invite the fear created by the sense of separate self to subside.
Sitting with Helen is like being with the warm, unconditionally loving mother we all long for in our human form."
