Autumn Retreat
Surrender as Strength Yoga Nidra + Live Q&A
with Richard Miller, PhD, teacher of iRest Yoga Nidra Immersion
Live Wednesday, September 23, at 8 pm ET | 5 pm PT
What if surrender is not giving up, but a way of opening into a deeper source of strength, wisdom, and inner stability?
Through iRest Meditation, we learn to surrender into the innate intelligence of body, mind, and heart, while discovering the ever-present ground of being and awareness that is always here.
Rooted in the ancient yogic wisdom traditions of nondual meditation, iRest offers a practical and accessible way of meeting whatever life brings with greater clarity, ease, resilience, and well-being.
Join Richard Miller for an experiential exploration of how surrender can become a doorway into peace, presence, and wholeness—and the mystery that is our essential nature.

What You’ll Experience
A replay of the live retreat will be available on Sounds True One for viewing within 72 hours.
Rather than trying to change, fix, or transcend our experience, we’ll learn to welcome and meet whatever is arising, with curiosity, openness, and awareness.
We’ll practice somatic expressions of presence, essence, being, and witnessing-awareness that continually point us back to our homeground of ease, peace, balance, harmony, and well-being.
Discover a practical and accessible pathway for meeting life with greater clarity, insight, resilience, and inner stability, while awakening to the deeper ground of Wholeness and Mystery.
Learn foundational practices to take into everyday life—into how we meet ourselves, our relationships, our work, our challenges, and the world around us.
