Love Without Limits

Love Without Limits

(Nope. Not a couples retreat, but yes—you can come with a partner, a friend, or by yourself!)

What if love isn’t something you have to earn, perfect, or even find? What if it’s already here—woven into the very fabric of your being?

This retreat offers a unique opportunity to take a PIT Stop—through Presence, Inquiry, and Togetherness. It is a pause to explore love beyond romantic ideals, self-help formulas, and the conditioning that tells you that you’re not enough. Together, we’ll journey inward to uncover love as your essential nature.

Through Presence, Inquiry, and being Together, we’ll explore:

• Presence: Resting in loving awareness through meditation—not loving something, but love as awareness itself, the wholeness beneath all the noise.
• Inquiry: Questioning the stories about love that keep you striving, fixing, and searching. Exploring how self-compassion can be a life-boat home. Asking about the nature of who we truly are. 
• Together: Creating a space for authentic connection through collective practice and honest dialogue. Here, you’ll be seen, held, and loved for exactly who you are.

Through compassion, radical acceptance, and conscious conversations, we’ll rest in the truth that love isn’t earned or achieved. It’s recognized, remembered, and lived from.

What You Can Look Forward To:

• Teachings and Guided Meditations: Engage in insightful teachings and guided meditations to deepen your understanding and experience of relational dharma and how to resource in these times.

• Nourishing Organic Meals: Enjoy delicious meals crafted by Whidbey Institute’s chef specially prepared for our group.

Our time together will be held in the container of the Whidbey Institute. Nestled amongst a 106-acre conservation forest campus on South Whidbey Island, WA, the Whidbey Institute is dedicated to nurturing the conditions for transformational learning and growth.

Our home for the week will be a community of farm houses and cabins dotting the meadow and forest, with delicious organic meals prepared especially for our group by the Institute’s chef. Our daily rhythm will include meditation, community discussion, and individual sessions with Caverly. The retreat will include daily periods of silence. Our time together will also be deeply enhanced by embodied movement practices. Class descriptions are below.

Movement Classes 

Loveli leads a powerful sound healing movement, using singing bowls and a variety of frequency healing instruments to guide others on a journey of emotional and physical restoration. Through the vibrational energy of sound, she creates an immersive experience that promotes deep relaxation, clears energetic blockages, and facilitates healing on a cellular level. By carefully selecting and playing these sacred instruments, Loveli harnesses their frequencies to align the body, mind, and spirit, helping participants reconnect with their inner peace and balance. Her sound healing sessions offer a transformative space where the therapeutic power of sound leads to profound inner shifts, offering healing, clarity, and renewed vitality.

In Brian’s sessions, you will practice Qi Gong, which is an ancient Chinese practice that through gentle movements, promotes health, mental clarity, healing energy, and vitality. You will also practice Tai Chi, a practice that focuses on slow flowing movement to improve balance, flexibility, strength, and coordination. Whether you’re new to these practices or have some experience, this workshop will help you achieve relaxation, stress reduction, awareness, and a deeper connection between mind and body.

This meditation retreat will be a hybrid of relational and silent time.  There will also be plenty of free time to explore the trail system, walk the labyrinth, as well as rest. Deeply rest.

You are invited to gather with us for this summer retreat to be nourished and resourced—to rest in our shared being and to explore, in community, what it means to act from love in your daily life.

Testimonials

I came into this retreat suffering from anticipatory grief and a mind burdened with too many thoughts and over exposure to media.

With Caverly’s guidance and a group of practitioners of similar intentions, after just 3 days my mind settled into a vast wondrous spaciousness, a steady stillness, a felt sense of openness and oneness with nature. I hadn’t been in this state since before the pandemic. This is the best gift I could have given myself.

Caverly has an uncanny intuition for what a group needs and skillfully guides us as a cohesive collective.

—Eddie, Director, Cyber Information Security

For anyone who’s spent years chasing success, this retreat is a homecoming. Caverly’s teachings helped me see that beneath all the striving, there’s a deeper peace always available. I left with a renewed sense of purpose—not to do more, but to be more fully alive.

—Brunella, Consultant

Somehow Caverly’s teachings have landed as the first practice I can reach for both on the cushion and in the moments of great everyday life as a means to center. This modern non dual approach brings ease and deep meaning in an accessible way. So, so grateful. 

—Elizabeth, Physician, mom

Caverly’s style is so refreshing. She holds the learning environment as such a collaborative container. Participant inputs blend with her gentle wisdom to create a field of trust and expansion. I felt very held and precious in that space, and I am grateful for her leadership.

—Patton, Director, Consultant for Social Change
