Rest in Being: New Year Renewal Retreat

Online Retreat | January 1-5, 2025

Join Jeannie Zandi and kindred friends for a transformative four-day online retreat to release the past and open fully to the fresh potential of 2025. Through deep presence, guided meditation, and heartfelt exploration, we’ll clear space for what’s to come—aligning with the boundless love bestowed in each moment and inviting this luminous reality into our very bodies and lives. 

This is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and connect deeply with ourselves in the present moment. Together, we’ll honor the lessons of the past year, reap the fruit of what has been, and gently prepare the soil of our beings to nourish new seeds that are ready to grow.

Through guided practices and community exploration, you’ll be supported to release that which no longer serves and to enter the fertile emptiness of the new year threshold where all may begin anew.



What to Expect

  • Guided and Silent Meditations: Ground yourself in both guided and silent meditation sessions, allowing space for deep immersion in your essential being.
  • Spontaneous Talks: Jeannie will offer heart-centered, spontaneous teachings that invite you into the alive moment. 
  • Interactive Exchanges: Engage in dialogue with Jeannie, exploring your questions and experiences in a supportive environment.
  • Optional Breakout Dyads: Opportunities for one-on-one connection through optional breakout room dyads.
  • Gentle Movement: Incorporate simple movement practices to help embody the teachings and integrate them into your daily life.
  • Suggested Break-Time Practices: Between sessions, explore practices designed to ground and deepen your retreat experience.
  • Warm, Supportive Community: Join a group of like-minded individuals in a space of safety and presence, offering opportunities for connection and shared growth.


Jeannie’s teaching is a unique combination of down-to-earth practicality and spiritual depth, where heaven and earth meet! Her warm and expert guidance offers a space where you can relax, laugh, and engage with the deepest aspects of yourself, supported by the generosity of the group.

If you feel ready to dive deeply into this sacred time of transformation, we ask that you commit fully to the process—attending each session with presence and creating a distraction-free sanctuary for yourself. Whether you retreat to a peaceful cabin, a quiet shoreline, or transform your home into a haven, give yourself the gift of undistracted time for contemplation, care, and inner listening.
