April 26 - 30, 2023
Due to popular demand we are happy to offer our second True Nature Retreat!
Welcoming beginners as well as seasoned yogis to join this popular gathering at the Garchen Institute! A powerful combination of teachings, meditation, chanting and movement will bring you into a more embodied and heart centered state at this holy destination.
H.E. Garchen Rinpoche will give pith instructions on the ultimate essence of mind and body, illuminating your true nature. We are delighted to welcome Krishna Das and his band to lead us in truly heart opening devotional chanting.
Khenpo Tenzin will teach on the 5 skandhas/aggregates and guide us in meditations on Shamata and Vipassana.
From the lineage of the great Dzogchen master Khenpo Munsel, who is Garchen Rinpoche’s root guru, come the Tibetan Qigong practices taught by our qualified guide Kathleen Davis.
Nina Rao will lead us in beautiful chanting to prime us for the experience of the joyous heart centered yoga practices taught by the gifted Joyanna Maria Ananda.
Registration required for in person attendance. Space is limited.
