Join us for a special weekend arts and meditation retreat. -- In the belief that acting training is also training in being a human being, we'll examine how meditation helps us connect with our creativity and cultivate the mental focus, physical freedom, emotional range, and spontaneity that make for vibrant acting and vibrant living. This retreat a potentially transformational investigation of the process of "acting" meditation as we move through the world.

All are invited to warm up their winter chills at IDP’s "Occupy Your Heart" Holiday Party and Fundraiser.
