Essential Wholeness and the Undefended Heart An iRrest and Nondual Meditation Retreat
- Presenter: Stephanie Lopez

To live with an undefended heart is to welcome and respond to limiting beliefs and ingrained behaviors that prevent authentic connection. In this five-day retreat, you’ll learn to transform patterns of protection and open into essential wholeness.
Meditation invites you to awaken to your wholeness, to what is undeniable yet often ignored because of its simplicity. Using guided iRest Yoga Nidra meditation, interactive dialogue, and gentle movement and breathing practices that impart deep relaxation, Stephanie Lopez presents nondual wisdom practices that reveal your true nature.
Whether you’re new to self-inquiry or are a seasoned meditator, this retreat will enable you to explore the dimensions of the heart of awareness. Learn transformational practices that promote resilience, wellbeing, and awakening as you explore:
- A comprehensive map of meditation
- Practices that support healing life issues and limiting core beliefs
- Meditations that nourish inherent qualities of essential nature such as love, curiosity, compassion, equanimity, joy, and wonder
- Open, spacious awareness and meeting each moment, just as it is
NOTE: This event fulfills the long retreat requirement for iRest Certification students.
