Join 3 Doors Self-Transformation Retreat December 2 and 3

Coming in 2024: Three Signature Academies Around the World

Everyone is welcome to join The 3 Doors community on December 2 and 3 for a dynamic weekend retreat with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche as he explores the topic of self-transformation. Rinpoche, Tibetan meditation teacher and founder of Ligmincha International, founded The 3 Doors in 2010 to support people to transform their lives through meditation.

Also, coming up in 2024 will be new 3 Doors Academies: North American, European and Latin American. The two-and-a-half-year signature program offers an immersive meditation training, with both in-person and online components.

December 2-3, 2024
The Heart of Self-Transformation: Exploring the Medicine of Breath, Awareness and Being
An Online Weekend Retreat with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
This online retreat, offered on Zoom, is open to everyone. Participants will be supported to reflect on habitual patterns that limit health, vitality and the expression of goodness that is inherent to us all. These habits can show up in our bodies as tension or exhaustion; in speech that is divisive or judgmental; and in our minds as fears and insecurities. Through simple meditation practices that have been used for centuries, we awaken the natural medicine of breath and awareness as we open the doors of our body, speech and mind. Translation available in Spanish, French, German, Hungarian and Portuguese.

The 3 Doors signature program, the Academy, was developed with transformation in mind. Over two-and-a-half years, participants are guided to explore the power of meditation and community to support self-discovery, personal transformation and actions that benefit others.

At his A-tri dzogchen retreat this past summer in Crestone, Colorado, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche shared about the transformation he has seen in 3 Doors practitioners:

I see deep and beautiful changes in people in the 3 Doors community. Their voices are different, gentler, softer, kinder. There is a space, a gap. They take time to respond because they have discovered a new space through their inner silence, a space from which they are able to articulate and express fresh and original words. The reason we are interested in discovering our inner silence is because we want to be playful and kind and laugh and smile. When silence is not discovered, our voice is occupied by wounds, and we cannot truly express our gratitude and love.

The 3 Doors looks forward to launching three Academies in 2024. Below is information, along with a quote from a new teacher with each Academy.

As I turn inward, I find beauty in places I wouldn't previously have expected, arising within the difficult parts of being human. Meditating with others has led to a sense of being free and at home in life.
