Healing the Heart: A Silent Yoga and Zen Retreat

February 6–8, 2026

Buddhist Path, On Land Retreats, Yoga & Wellness


Program Start Date & Time: February 6th, 2026  |  5:30 pm

Program End Date & Time: February 8th, 2026  |  12:30 pm

Healing the Heart is a weekend immersion in silence, guided by the divine abodes—the heart methods of Karuna (compassion), Metta (loving-kindness), Muddita (selfless joy), and Kshama (forgiveness). Through the stillness of Zen meditation and the embodied flow of Yin and Vinyasa Yoga, practitioners will enter a contemplative space where the heart can be tended with devotion and care.

This retreat is an invitation to step back from the noise of daily life and attune to the quiet wisdom within. An opportunity to soften into presence, deepen your practice, and rest in the sacred pause.

This immersion will focus on recovering from interpersonal trauma and loss, and the cultivation of deep joy and radical equanimity. It offers a holistic path for body, heart, and mind, appropriate both for newcomers and long-time practitioners.

Led by internationally celebrated Dharma teacher of teachers, Kali Basman, whose guidance interweaves Buddhist Psychology and Internal Family Systems Therapy into the living discipline of Yin Yoga. A certified IFS coach, Kali’s work harmonizes anatomy and Traditional Chinese Medicine with the inner methods of mind training and trauma healing—braiding together three sacred strands: the physical (yoga and breath), the spiritual (Buddhist contemplations), and the emotional-psychological (Internal Family Systems therapy). Woven as one, these elements form a fully integrated, embodied path of practice.

Why Attend:

This weekend retreat is an invitation to soften the armor, dissolve the debris of trauma, and return to the innate intelligence of your inner life.

Over the course of the weekend, you’ll experience:

✦ Rhythmic vinyasa sequences and long-held yin postures

✦ Silent sits and dharma reflections

✦ Heart-opening breathwork and Internal Family Systems–inspired inquiry

✦ Exploration of the four Divine Abodes as living practices for resilience and joy.

✦ Nourishing meals and restorative practices to support deep rest

Held in the majestic and quiet landscape of the Rockies at the Drala Mountain Center, this retreat offers a sacred container for movement, stillness, and transformation. Whether you are tending to grief, seeking clarity, or simply longing to reconnect with what is true—this space welcomes all of you.

A silent meditation retreat is not an escape from life—it is a profound return to it, where stillness becomes the teacher and the self is revealed not through doing, but through simply being. Enter a sacred pause. In the stillness of winter, we gather to reconnect with the wisdom of the heart.

All levels are welcome. No prior experience in yoga or meditation required.
