 Exploring and Experiencing the Subtle Body: External, Internal & Secret Tsa Lung
with Alejandro Chaoul Reich
October 5-7, 2009
Well-being in the Tibetan tradition is a holistic sense of wellness that encompasses body, energy, and mind. The ancient Bon Mother Tantra is a tradition that has been rediscovered in the 11th century and provides many different meditative techniques for healing and enlightenment.
Participants will learn the three sets (external, internal and secret) of Tsa lung (“channels and vital breath”) meditative and movement practices from the Mother Tantra. This retreat will provide an in-depth experiential exploration of the body’s energetic dimension or subtle body, composed by channels, the vital breath (lung, prana or qi) that circulates through them, and the subtle aspects of the mind that guide them, working with one’s energetic centers (chakras) to provide a sense of embodied meditation.

 Ngondro Practice Retreat
with Lharila Kelsang Nyima
August 27 -September 6, 2009
We are pleased to annouce that Lharila Kelsang Nyima will be leading a practice retreat on the Ngondro of the Experential Transmssion lineage. This is an excellent opportunity for those who have recently received teachings on the ngondro to deepen their practice, and gain personal guidance in practice by a highly qualified lama. This retreat will also be a wonderful support to those who have been already practicing the ngondro for years. It is required that all attendees have already received training in these practices, so all of the time in the retreat can be spent in group and individual practice.
The purpose of our practice retreat series is to provide the time and space with a qualified teacher to deepen one’s practice of a specific meditation. There are at least four formal practice sessions each day, and there are many opportunities to clarify the practices with the teacher. Enrollment is limited to 20 participants. |
