I lead four retreats a year in Mexico, and I am away for about a fortnight each time. The shala keeps running while I am gone, and I would rather have people lined up than scramble a week out.
Below is every session I need covered, grouped by trip. Open the ones you might be free for and tick what you could take. It is a standing ask — near dates and far ones both help, and nothing here is a commitment. I will come back to you before each trip to confirm and sort out the rate.
What you would be walking into
Mysore and Open Practice are self-paced. People arrive and practise their own sequence. You hold the room, keep time, and help where help is wanted — you do not lead it.
Led Primary on Friday is a led count, ninety minutes.
Functional Synthesis on Sunday is part of a running course with a full room. I would want to talk that one through properly rather than hand it over cold.
Wednesday mornings are covered — Mana teaches those, so they are not on the list.
The trips fall on the same four weekends every year: the King holiday, Memorial Day, late August, and Veterans Day. The dates are fixed, so you can plan against them.
