Hey friends!
We're Jeff Warren and Ofosu Jones-Quartey, and we're thrilled to be co-leading a brand new retreat for neurodivergent humans next July 2026.
Jeff is an ADHD and bipolar meditation teacher and writer, author of a couple of books, and a contributor to meditation apps like Calm and Happier, as well as Substack. He lives with and loves a whole community of “neurospicy” folks—his partner Sarah is autistic and has ADHD, his two kids keep him guessing—and this has led to his passion for customizing meditation and spiritual practices for different nervous systems.
Ofosu is a meditation teacher, hip-hop artist, and author who has lived with OCD for over 20 years. His practice and art both reflect a lifelong journey of learning how to meet the mind with compassion and creativity, and how to translate that into accessible practices for others.
Together, we're creating a space that's about way more than meditation (although that will definitely be part of it). We'll explore a wide variety of practices—from movement to art to sharing strategies for navigating this strange, hard, and beautiful life.
We'll be supported by Rachel Adelman and Matt Bernatek, along with a neurodivergent-affirming psychotherapist.
📍 Location: Art of the Living Retreat Center, Boone, North Carolina
🗓 Dates: July 16 - 19, 2026
We're only taking 40 people this first year. If you're interested, we'll soon be taking applications. Plug your email in here to get on the list, and stay tuned to this page for more details!
