Law of One Contemplative Retreat: An L/L Research Event

May 15–18, 2025

L/L Research is happy to announce the 2025 Law of One Contemplation Retreat in Crestone, Colorado! This particular event is a new iteration of our Coming Home series with a specific focus on practices of meditation, reflection, and contemplation. Please see the Format section below for more details.

Also please note: We hold this gathering in a cultural environment where even the Law of One readership is divided, sometimes passionately so, on hot-button political and social issues. This event’s container is designed to focus on the eternal principles of spiritual evolution shared by Confederation sources. We ask that all offerings be geared towards understanding, compassion, and healing.

Within this safe, stable, and sturdy container, the possibilities for opening our hearts together in the search for illumination and communion are limitless.

Begins: Thursday, May 15, at 5:00 PM PT Ends: Sunday, May 18, with an evening dinner

Where

Crestone, Colorado (about an hour from Great Sand Dunes National Park) at a beautiful venue called Blazing Mountain Retreat Center.

Format

This retreat is a new adventure for L/L Research. Our previous gatherings primarily used Open Space Technology (details below), but this retreat will include dedicated time for group/individual meditation, learning and discussion about meditation, and general meditative/contemplative/prayerful practice.

The specific schedule and design will be shared in the coming weeks, but you can expect it to include 30-minute blocks of seated group meditations. Beginners are welcome! You don’t need to be a meditation pro (who is?). To get the most out of this gathering, though, you will need to be comfortable with this structure. You are also free to exit any meditation as needed without risk of karmic repercussions. :)

While there will still be plenty of time for free-flowing conversation, the overall heart of this retreat is to offer a space for sacred connection in the inner stillness of one’s being, to “tabernacle with the Creator,” as Confederation sources say. Toward that end, the retreat will also include silence during the transition periods between the scheduled blocks of time.

Your facilitators have many years of meditation practice and study, and some teaching, but are not serving as meditation teachers, per se. Their goal is to facilitate a space for collective meditation practice and study.

In between the meditative periods, we will employ the Open Space Technology (OST), which is an approach to event organization where **participants share in co-creating the content, value, culture, and leadership that maximizes potential for positive experience.

For the OST portions, if you should feel so moved (we hope you are!), please come prepared with something you would like to share with the group, whether a presentation, an activity, a discussion topic, or anything that may engage others in questions, explorations, and sharings in the spirit of the open heart. Given the purpose of this particular gathering, offerings connected to meditative, contemplative, or prayerful practices are particularly supportive; but the floor is open for anything related to the Law of One and the spiritual journey.

Once the curriculum is finalized, we will email all registrants and be available for any questions.
