Practical Meditation Workshop

January 1-3, 2027, at Adawehi Wellness Village

Traditional meditation is beneficial because it allows you to quiet your mind-chatter long enough to hear your spirit’s voice. But once you leave that space to go about your daily life, the calm of the meditation frequently gets left behind. At Adawehi, we teach a more practical approach to meditation.

Yes, there will still be the “sit quietly and listen” aspect, but by acquiring proper techniques, life can become a living meditation. Every aspect of your life can be lived with intent, even when the pressures mount and the noises increase. We call this “practical meditation for purposeful living.”

Please read on and let renowned Spiritual Teacher, Jackie Woods, introduce you to what she has been living and teaching for 30+ years.

Practical Meditation & You

Jackie Woods, Spiritual Teacher & Adawehi Founder

In my early years of meditating, I would long for more time to spend in that quiet space. But as with most of us, my life was busy, busy. So I would crowd in my private time and then feel fortified to jump back into life. Then one day I said to myself, why can’t life be a meditation?  And I proceeded to ask Spirit’s guidance in how to make that happen. And that is what I want to offer you.

Thank you for joining me in living a purposeful life!  – Jackie Woods

“Adawehi is the calm in the storm of modern-day life. I was fully embraced with kindness, care, and acceptance. Good humans, doing good things. Thank you, Adawehi Family!”

“This was truly an amazing experience that expanded my intentions, teaching me areas I had never explored. The relationships built were amazing.  Jackie and Russell were a tremendous team, emphasizing the knowledge of the other as the weekend progressed. Highly recommend!”

“For most of my life I have felt like I was walking aimlessly around in a dry empty desert. There was no life, no water. After experiencing Adawehi, that desert is now filled with trees, animals, and water. There is finally life where there once was not. Adawehi has enriched me by bringing life back into living.”

“I had my reservations going into this retreat and participating in a holistic community. The kindness and authenticity of the people have melted all of it. This is a unique and precious community. I look forward to returning.”
