The Heart of Self-Transformation: Exploring the Medicine of Breath, Awareness, and Being with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
November 16 & 17, 2024
Join Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and 3 Doors teachers for an online weekend retreat: Exploring the Medicine of Breath, Awareness and Being, on November 16-17, 2024. Through simple meditation practices of breath and awareness, we can bring openness and kindness to our challenges as we rest in stillness of the body, silence of speech, and spaciousness of mind. Discovering an inner refuge, these energetic patterns that bind can loosen and release and pathways of well-being and joy open. Join the warmth of an emergent 3 Doors community as we reflect, practice, and share our practice experiences with each other.
Translation will be available in Spanish and Portuguese. Additional languages will be announced on the webpage soon.
