We invite you to spend five days immersing yourself in the Tibetan Buddhist wisdom tradition.
Join us in our temple by the park for a city, non-residential retreat, to:
establish or deepen your daily meditation practice
learn how to work with distractions and obstacles that may arise during your practice
contemplate and meditate on the essence of the Buddha's teachings
create space to experience genuine inner peace and contentment
learn how to bring about lasting transformation in your life
You will be supported by experienced meditation teachers Jan van der Breggan and Marianne Gizycki, and receive video teachings from Sogyal Rinpoche, a renowned master of the Tibetan Nyingma lineage and Dzogchen, or 'Great Perfection', tradition. Through the Dzogchen approach, that cuts to the heart essence of Buddha's teachings, Rinpoche shows us who we really are: our unchanging, fundamental goodness or Buddha nature.
Each day will feature a rich yet spacious program of teachings, guided meditation, and time for reflection and discussion.
