  CobaltSaffron seminars and retreats are unique events that assemble talent, vision, knowledge and technique to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Participants are given the opportunity to pull back from and rise above the circumstance of their day–to–day lives, to discover and rejuvenate the core elements of mind, body and spirit. Through group and individual activities, lectures and exercises, the seminars and retreats cover the spectrum of human experience, elucidating the art of being and living.What is it that we do here? By easing away from the mania that pulls on us, recalling and reconnecting with our essential spirit and callings, we regenerate our core inspiration and faith in Life and our place within it…with a purposeful eye toward facilitating evolution toward ‘More capable human beings,’ meaning grander, freer, more authentic and meaningfully effective.
