Meditation helps us to discover a deep sense of well-being that is not dependent on the circumstances of our lives. When we learn to tame our minds and open our hearts through the practice of meditation, we discover the compassionate wisdom and radiant joy that is our true nature.
This residential retreat will offer a unique opportunity to deepen our practice of the Joy of Living meditation teachings of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. The retreat will be led by Tergar facilitator Antonia Sumbundu.
Over six days, we will explore two important forms of meditation – awareness meditation and loving-kindness and compassion meditation – experiencing firsthand how these practices can transform the mind and open the heart. The retreat will take place in a secluded environment and with the support of a community of meditators. The daily schedule will include six to eight hours of meditation per day (practiced in twenty to thirty minute sessions), periods of silence along with video teachings by Mingyur Rinpoche, group discussions, and presentations on the key points of meditation by Antonia.
This course is open to both beginner and experienced meditators. It offers the beginning meditator an opportunity to explore in depth the practices taught by Mingyur Rinpoche and for experienced meditators the chance to deepen their practice and understanding.
The retreat will be held at Strandgaarden, a seminar and retreat center surrounded by beautiful nature and close to the sea. All meals will be vegetarian. For more information, visit www.strandgaarden.org.
In this short video teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche discusses the practice of retreat and its importance on the spiritual path: The Importance of Retreat.
