Two Retreats in February 2020 at Serenity Ridge
Red Garuda with John Jackson and Sherap Chamma with Marcy Vaughn
Serenity Ridge is pleased to offer two upcoming weekend retreats in February 2020. “The Red Garuda: Powerful Wings of the Heart” with John Jackson will be held February 1–2, 2020. “Sherap Chamma: Mother of Wisdom and Love” with Marcy Vaughn will be held February 21–23.
February 1–2, 2020: “The Red Garuda: Powerful Wings of The Heart” with John Jackson. Mythologies throughout the world recount the story of the eagle-man, the one who transcends and rises above mundane existence to connect with the wisdom of the spacious, luminous sky. From the western Himalayas, across India, to the Mongolian plains, to the Indonesian archipelago, the garuda represents this transcendent quality present in all humans, that which empowers and removes all obstacles to our spiritual development.
The Red Garuda is especially known as a healing practice for emotional and physical problems, both for ourselves and others, for the fiery strength of enlightened energy quickly burns away all obstacles. It also is known for its ability to resolve issues related to disturbances of the nagas, the beings of the waters. Please join us for this weekend and connect with the power, strength and courageous wisdom that lie within your innermost being.
February 21–23, 2020: “Sherap Chamma: Mother of Wisdom and Love” with Marcy Vaughn. In many cultures the primordial female energy is seen as the origin of existence and the source of all positive qualities. As such, Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love, is the source of wisdom, and her medicine is love and compassion. The teachings of Sherap Chamma comprise one of the most important tantric cycles of the ancient Bön tradition.
In this retreat, participants will learn a beautiful and simple meditation practice enabling each to directly connect with the divine feminine energy. Within the support of the group, an environment is created to promote profound healing of physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual dimensions of life. With visualization, the sound of mantra and deep contemplation, participants can make a personal connection to this sacred form of the universal mother, Sherap Chamma, and are guided through this connection to innate wisdom and the love and compassion that naturally radiate from that wisdom.
