And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.
~ Maya Angelou
Karuna along with other Community Meditation teachers, will bring poetry, meditation, and practices designed to open your body, heart, and mind to the possibility of boundless love during the first annual online Mind Oasis meditation retreat. Throughout the weekend, you’ll be invited through gentle yoga asana, breathwork, meditation, and inspiring talks to feel into the limitless quality of your heart-mind space. The world is aching and in need of courageous warriors of the heart. Join us to pick up new tools for your warrior toolbox! Masters Rumi, Hafiz, Mary Oliver, Maya Angelou, Pablo Neruda, yung pueblo, and others will guide us along the way. Spontaneous single-song dance parties are guaranteed! If you’re retreat-curious, a first-timer, or an old hat, this special weekend long experience will help you shift and infuse your practice with the elixir of love.
Coinciding with the potent October new moon, come prepared to invite in something new that your heart most desires. Not sure? We’ll help you figure out what exactly it is that your heart most desires at this time!

Leaning on the stellar instruction she has received from her teachers -- Hector Marcel, Kelly Lindsey, Denise Deniger, Michael Hewett, and Keith Kachtick, and Life Itself, Karuna designs her classes to create the type of reflection from which you can find a meaningful and enriching life.
Sassy, fun, and knowledgeable, class with Karuna is sure to inspire. You can expect to learn exactly what you need to create a joyful and curious life. Expect your paradigm to shift in playful and potent ways.
Karuna has studied Tibetan Buddhism extensively. She has taught and guided hundreds of hours of meditation sessions. It is her greatest desire that all beings be happy and free.
When she isn't guiding meditation, working on writing a book, teaching a Dharma class, or trail running, you will find Karuna hiking with her husband Joseph and two dogs, Ruby Rose and Stella Bean in the mountains of ColoRocky.
Karuna will be joined in this weekend retreat by several other friends who will share their tremendous knowledge, strength and skill with joyful heart-full energy.
Remember if you miss a session - they're recorded
