Inner Clarity, Inner Strength
Beginners Silent Retreat with Gen Kelsang Rigpa
January 3 – 6 | Registration Opens November 13 at 2pm ET
Discover an oasis of peace. When the turbulence of mental busyness subsides and your mind becomes still, a deep sense of happiness and contentment naturally arises from within. This is the most amazing thing. When we see this through our own experience, we become confident and strong.
A silent retreat is an unequaled opportunity to become aware of the peaceful nature of your mind. Through utilizing silence, clear and accessible instructions on how to meditate, and the support of meditating in a group on a meditation retreat, your practice will deepen tremendously. Everyone is welcome!
In this experiential retreat, you will:
Learn how to engage in the profound and transformative meditation on the clarity of your mind
Receive essential techniques for effective and joyful meditation
Have ample opportunity to enjoy the deep stillness of a retreat amidst your busy lifestyle
Get instructions on how to weave this experience into your life going forward
