Karuna Cottage

Karuna Cottage is a secluded, contemplative sanctuary in a cozy Gainesville neighborhood owned and managed by Nancy Lasseter and Ewen Thomson who live on the property. This is a beautiful cottage, with trails to Hogtown Creek. Our experienced teachers offer retreats, classes, workshops, & meditation group sanghas. Our intention is to provide a serene space for you to explore your inner nature and to connect with others. We also offer day & weekend self-retreats for just you or you and a friend. We offer a nourishing menu of spiritual practices in order to cultivate daily mindfulness, to connect with & heal our deeper selves in mind, body & heart. Join us for weekly Zen & Insight meditation practices online, Iyengar yoga, chanting, & more.
