Coming Home – Abiding Peace and Radiant Compassion:
Summer Meditation Retreat
With Senior Tergar Instructor Tim Olmsted
Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon, USA
Meditation helps us to discover a deep sense of well-being independent of the outer circumstances of our lives. When we learn to tame our minds and open our hearts through the practice of meditation, we discover the natural peace, warmth, and wisdom that is our true nature.
This week-long retreat will offer a wonderful opportunity to deepen our experience of the meditation teachings of Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. Over seven days we’ll explore the nature of awareness, its abiding nature of peace, and its authentic expression as love and compassion.
There will be sessions of meditation throughout each day along with video teachings by Mingyur Rinpoche, group discussions, and presentations on the key points of meditation by Senior Tergar Instructor Tim Olmsted.
The retreat will be held in Smith Hall, a beautiful setting located on the campus of Lewis & Clark College, situated on 137 acres of lush forest in the hills surrounding Portland, Oregon. Meals will be prepared from locally grown food.
For those who cannot stay on campus during the retreat, two commuter options are being offered – a week-long or weekend commuter option (July 17-19). The schedule for the full-week commuter option will begin Friday, July 17th at 7pm and end at 9pm. The daily schedule for week-long commuters will be 9am to 5pm, and will end at noon on Thursday, July 23th. Tuition includes a hot lunch each day and free parking.
The schedule for the weekend commuter option is Friday, July 17th from 7pm to 9pm, and Saturday, July 18 and Sunday, July 19 from 9am to 5pm. Tuition for the weekend option also includes a hot lunch and free parking.
Qualifications:
This retreat is open to anyone. It will be extremely enriching for anyone interested in meditation, whether you’re a new or experienced practitioner. In this short video teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche discusses the practice of retreat and its importance on the spiritual path: The Importance of Retreat.
