Where Do We Go From Here? A Cradle of Loving Kindness for Vajrayana Practitioners Looking Forward on Our Paths

con Dan Hessey

January 19 - 26, 2019

In this program we will collaborate to create an inclusive context for all the doubts, feelings, ideas and emotions that we all are finding in our lives and practices these days.
We will practice and live together, and have time to discuss and process what we are going through in the context of the Shambhala teachings we have been studying.
We aspire to set a table that is big enough to accommodate everything we feel, even if those feelings don’t know how to talk to each other yet. Together, we will look for next steps in our journey, and raise our gaze so we can find a genuine path forward.
There is no better place for this intimate journey than the drala-soaked garden of Casa Werma!
Retreat will include opportunities to practice and explore Ashe Mahamudra, ngondro, and werma practice at any level with a foundation in deepening through shamatha and Shambhala Meditation.
This retreat will meet group practice requirements for ngondro, werma and Scorpion Seal practitioners.
