But the real power of meditation isnât in the method. Itâs in shifting our perspective.

Awakening Wisdom - JOY OF LIVING 3
April 3-May 22, 2023
In this course, spread out over eight 2-hour sessions, we will explore the causes of suffering and dissatisfaction through the practice of insight meditation. By bringing our unchallenged beliefs and patterns into the light of awareness, we can see how our rigid ideas often blind us to the richness of our true nature. The wisdom that arises through insight meditation allows us to see our inner experience clearly. This leads to a sense of freedom, well-being, and confidence that is rooted in awareness itself and available to us each and every moment. The schedule for this workshop includes video teachings by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, presentations by Tergar guides Stephanie Wagner and Amy Roth, as well as guided meditations and discussion. Hosted by Tergar Minneapolis

Creation and Completion: - Heart Advice on the Key Points of Vajrayana Practice
April 13-May 4, 2023
In this 4-week workshop led by Tim Olmsted and Kunsang Palmo, we will explore the rich practices and principles of the Vajrayana. Vajrayana Buddhism, also known as Tantric Buddhism, is considered a swift path to enlightenment. This profound approach to awakening is rooted in the understanding that buddhahood is not a goal to be achieved, but an immanent reality that we can recognize in the present moment. Various tools are used to bring about this recognition: meditations that employ the imagination and a range of symbolic imagery, embodied exercises that harness the power of our subtle energies, and pith instructions that guide the meditator to a direct experience of the luminous purity of the mindâs true nature.

Emptiness and Compassion - The Two Wings of a Bird - with Myoshin and Edwin Kelley
April 22, 2023
In the Buddhist tradition the cultivation of wisdom and compassion is considered the key to transforming the mind. Cultivating wisdom involves letting go of fixed perceptions of how the world appears to be and looking at how things actually are. As freeing as this ultimately is, the path can often feel scary and challenging. Thus we need to practice in a way that is infused with compassion or a tender heart that wants to alleviate suffering. A compassion that becomes more informed by wisdom.
During this daylong workshop, Edwin and Myoshin will lead an exploration of wisdom & compassion and how they work in tandem to support us in the transformation of our minds. We will learn meditations that help us to cultivate a compassionate wise heart.
