Week 1: July 5- 11
A path to peace and happiness (Lamrim)
with Kelsang Jangchen

Week 2: July 12-18
Transforming whatever circumstances we
meet (Lojong)
with Kerrin Perniciaro

Step outside your everyday routine this summer and gain a new point of view, a fresh perspective on life. Engage in practical and uplifting meditations that will transform your day-to-day experiences—even the most demanding and difficult situations—into opportunities for personal and spiritual growth.

In Week 1, you’ll discover the inner peace and lightness of mind that comes from meditating on the “the stages of the path to enlightenment” (Lamrim). These step-by-step meditations lead to increasingly beneficial states of mind and naturally bring out our good qualities.

In week 2, we will look at Buddha’s Lojong teachings, “training the mind” practices which reveal an unsurpassed method for controlling our mind and channelling our actions in a virtuous direction so that we may be of real benefit to others.

This retreat is suitable for meditators of all levels. You are welcome to join in part or all of this annual summer meditation retreat. Everyone is welcome!
