About the Event

How many of us train our eye to see the good? How many of us train our ear to hear the good? And how often, in our daily rush of bad news, bad politics, and bad hair days does the mind incline itself toward what’s already good? 

In this weekend retreat, drawn from the content of our book of the same title (How Not To Be A Hot Mess), we'll teach embodiment practices that reorient participants to what is already good - in themselves, in their lives, and in the world. 

The retreat will include sitting and walking meditation, dharma talks and instruction, interactive exercises, and opportunities for discussion and Q&A. Beginners and seasoned meditators alike are all welcome. 

Teacher Bio: 

Devon and Craig Hase are the co-founders of Sati Mindfulness, a mindfulness community that offers on-line classes, meditations, and teaching as well as in-person mentoring and meditation training. Devon and Craig teach meditation workshops and retreats throughout North America and Europe. 

Devon has been practicing meditation since 1998, and has trained with some of the great teachers in the Insight tradition. She is a graduate of Spirit Rock Community Dharma Leaders program. When she is not sitting or teaching retreats, Devon teaches mindfulness at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics; to pre-service teachers at UW Madison through the Center for Healthy Minds; and on ABC News anchor Dan Harris’s 10% Happier on-line course. 

Craig began intensive meditation training in 1994. He lived at a Zen monastery for 6 years before getting a Ph.D. in counseling psychology at the University of Wisconsin Madison, where he studied with the renowned neuroscientist Richard J. Davison, among other luminaries. Craig spends much of his time in meditation retreat himself, working as a therapist and meditation coach, and recording meditations for Simple Habit – as well as traveling around the country teaching meditation with Devon.

Craig and Devon are the authors of How Not To Be A Hot Mess, published by Shambhala in February 2020, and named to Publisher Weekly’s Top 10 List in religion and spirituality. Copies of the book will be available for sale at the retreat.
