Hybrid Weekend Community Retreat with Scott Anderson – Friday, January 21 at 5 p.m. through Sunday, January 23rd at 3 p.m.

Community is a significant part of what we do in the Tergar Meditation Community. While we maintained our connection during the pandemic via Zoom and other online platforms, many of us are coming together in-person for the first time. Solitary practice is a significant part of the tradition held by Mingyur Rinpoche, though practicing in the same space with others provides a container of support that can facilitate our ongoing development as practitioners. In this practice retreat, we’ll celebrate time together, both virtually and in-person, and reconnect to the essential elements of what we do; practice, teachings, connecting to our teacher and connecting to each other. Each day will focus on meditation practice, along with instructional videos by Mingyur Rinpoche and discussions facilitated by Kasumi and Scott.
