The Joy of Living

August 7-8, 2010
Weekend Meditation Retreat
With Tergar Instructor Myoshin Kelley

Meditation allows us to calm the mind, open the heart, and live more fully in the present moment. In this retreat, we will explore the practice of meditation and how to integrate meditative awareness with all activities. Based on the extraordinary meditation teachings of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, the Joy of Living program emphasizes universal principles that are profoundly beneficial for people of all faiths and belief systems.

This retreat will offer an excellent introduction for new students and a time to deepen practice for experienced practitioners. The daily schedule will include meditation sessions interspersed with short discussions and presentations by Tergar instructor Myoshin Kelley.
