Tantra, also known as Secret Mantra or Vajrayana, is a special method to purify our world, our self, our enjoyments, and our activities; and if we put this method into practice, we will attain enlightenment very quickly. Practicing Sutra teachings is the basic foundation of our spiritual path and the practice of Tantra is the quick method to fulfill the ultimate goal of Sutra teachings.
Next retreat date: October 17th | 8:45am - 12:30pm
These half-day retreats – gentle, peaceful meditations, unplugged from the digital world – are super helpful in our modern age, and we warmly invite you to take advantage of them.
Take a break from technology! If we step away from the constant buzz of notifications, social media, and digital obligations, we create space for introspection and mental clarity, so often elusive in our fast-paced world. This is a profound opportunity to disconnect from our distractions and connect with what is really important in our lives.

The power of compassion is often underestimated and misunderstood in mainstream society. In this weekend mountain retreat we will explore the innumerable benefits that come from developing and maintaining a wise compassionate mind. This mind not only protects us from mental pain and physical suffering, but safeguards our consciousness when we are dying. The highlight of our retreat experience will be learning the magical practice of taking away suffering and giving love using the inner science of meditation.

“When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us....” —Modern Buddhism

Maybe I don’t have to feel troubled all the time. Maybe I don’t have to always be so critical and judgemental. Could it be I might even bring some lightness onto the scene? Or some wisdom? Whoa. Does everything really need to remain stuck right where it is? Do I need to remain stuck?
