3-Day Immersion — June 27 - 29, 2025
at Somaspace in Portland, Oregon
Solsara Immersions provide an opportunity for us to gather for three days with these seemingly paradoxical intentions: to surrender to the perfection of the present moment while also moving courageously toward our heart's deepest desires.
At a Solsara Immersion, we begin to perceive the ways we’ve been limiting ourselves. We recognize the attachments we’ve created that undermine our vision, our sense of reality, and our lives. We develop our capacity to let go of ideas and emotions that separate us from ourselves and others. We face where we've been stuck, where we’ve been reluctant or unable to change. With this awareness, we may make choices and take actions aligned with our deepest values.
This is the heart of the practice: being honest and vulnerable when our reflex may be to protect or defend ourselves; opening in the face of fear; exploring and questioning the beliefs and ideas that we have been living by; letting go of control and security to open to the living experience of love, connection, and freedom; moving with trust towards the unknown.
We are calling in people with a strong intention to use this practice to further their ability and capacity to be of service and to contribute—to their families, friends, and communities. We ask for your courage and commitment to recognizing that creating a peaceful and loving human culture is in your hands, manifested through the choices you make moment by moment.

LOGISTICS
We recommend bringing comfortable, layered clothing, as the temperature and activity level will vary throughout the day. Be prepared for periods of extended sitting as well as some vigorous movement. Please get in touch with us if you'd like to discuss accommodations and options if you have limited mobility or health concerns.
You may bring your lunch or go to a nearby restaurant. While we don't schedule a dinner break, we do provide hearty snacks mid-morning and mid-evening. Water and tea are always available.
We do not offer lodging for Immersions hosted in the city, but if you are coming from out of town and need a place to stay, we can do our best to assist you in finding accommodations with another person attending the Immersion.
