The Heart of Self-Transformation. Exploring the Medicine of Breath, Awareness and Being
An Online Retreat with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
December 2 and 3, 2023
Over the course of two days, we will reflect on habitual patterns that limit our 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 we awaken the natural medicine of breath and awareness, releasing limiting energetic patterns and discovering pathways of well-being and joy. In addition to teaching and guided practices, this retreat offers opportunities to reflect on and share our experiences of practice.
*Spanish and German translation available. Additional languages will be posted soon.
