The 3 Doors Introductory Presentations and Workshops
In introductory presentations and workshops, participants are invited to engage in practices of meditation and reflection so that they may look within and discover the jewel that is hidden in ordinary experience. This jewel is called the “inner refuge.” We can connect to the inner refuge through meditation practices of body, speech and mind. From this connection, genuine warmth can arise to benefit ourselves and others.

Join us for any of our weekend seminars, which present simple and profound meditation practices as a means to connect with the power of being fully present and alive to the infinite possibilities in each moment of life. These workshops are appropriate for beginning and advanced meditation practitioners alike.

Introductory presentations are offered on the following topics:

• The Healing Power of the Inner Refuge explores how bringing attention to the stillness of the body, the silence of speech and the spaciousness of mind offers an entryway to the free and open space of being and the positive healing qualities that emerge.
  
  
• Awakening the Sacred Body introduces the practices of the Nine Breathings of Purification and five Tsa Lung exercises as supports to clear obstacles that can block the healing space of the inner refuge.
  
  
• Awakening Authentic Presence introduces the practice of the Five Warrior Syllables, a practice that uses the power of sound to clear obstacles and awaken positive qualities that transform one’s life.
  
  
• Awakening the Luminous Mind introduces the practice of the Fivefold Teaching of Dawa Gyaltsen, offering clear guidance on transforming confusion into wisdom.
