Retreats & Programs

Live, online, and deeply personal

Christopher's programs are offered live — never pre-recorded. Each one is an intimate, interactive experience with a maximum of twenty participants, including guided meditations, dharma teachings, question and answer sessions, and one-on-one time with Christopher himself.

Whatever your level of experience — whether you are new to meditation or have practiced for decades — there is a program here that will meet you where you are and invite you deeper.

Currently Running

Impermanence, Emptiness, Liberation A Year-Long Immersive Online Meditation Program · January 7th–December 19th, 2026

This comprehensive, non-sectarian exploration draws on the earliest teachings of the Buddha to investigate three of the most profound and liberating insights available to a human being: that all experience is impermanent, that the self is not what we think it is, and that genuine freedom is possible.

Over four semesters, participants will explore Mindfulness of Breathing, the nature of emptiness and not-self, the release of reactive patterns, and the cultivation of lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity. This program is designed for practitioners who are ready to go deep.

Offered in two sections to accommodate different time zones. Recordings available to all participants.

The Healing Power of Kindness A 12-Week Online Meditation Immersive · April 12th–July 5th, 2026

Metta — often translated as lovingkindness — is one of the four immeasurable qualities of heart recognised in the Buddhist traditions. In this twelve-week immersive, Christopher guides participants through a systematic and embodied exploration of kindness as a healing force.

Drawing on Theravada and Mahayana meditation techniques, neuroscience, somatic experiencing, and psychology, this program gradually widens the circle of care to include all beings — beginning, always, with oneself.

As Dr. Peter Levine has noted, kindness may be the only modality empirically shown to reverse the effects of adverse childhood experiences. This program takes that finding seriously.

Offered in two sections to accommodate different time zones. Recordings available to all participants.

Coming in January 2027

Awakened Living A Year-Long Immersive Online Meditation Program

Awakened Living is Christopher's flagship year-long program — a comprehensive, non-sectarian exploration of the earliest teachings of the Buddha, including the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Brahma Viharas.

This program has transformed the lives and practice of participants around the world. If you would like to be notified when registration opens for January 2027, please reach out and Christopher will add you to the list.

How Christopher's Programs Work

All programs are offered live on Zoom — never pre-recorded. Groups are kept small, with a maximum of twenty participants, so that each person receives genuine attention and care.

Every program includes guided meditations, dharma teachings, question and answer sessions, interactive discussion, and a one-on-one private session with Christopher. Recordings are made available to participants so that no one falls behind if they miss a session.

Fees are offered on a sliding scale, and no one is ever turned away for lack of funds.
