SUMMARY:The Essence of Meditation: Letting Go Into Being
DESCRIPTION:Feel like you need a sanity break?\nNever done a meditation retreat before?\nNeed some inspiration for your meditation? \nThis weekend retreat—from Friday evening till Monday lunch—can serve any of these purposes and more. Just to extract ourself from the treadmill of daily patterns to visit our spacious\, quiet\, and nurturing retreat land for a weekend does us good. Combine that with gentle and repeated opportunities to become more familiar with the essence of our being through guided meditation and we have something even more meaningful. \nSo much of our unease\, self-criticism\, despondency\, or stress is caused by thoughts and patterns of thinking that we are often barely aware of. Meditation is about becoming more and more familiar with the essence of our being—that which lies beneath all fleeting experiences and is a source of inherent well being. This retreat is an opportunity to engage more deeply in this process and can equally serve as an introduction to or as an infusion of inspiration for this path of discovery. \nIn this retreat we will cover the benefits of meditation\, experimenting with several techniques\, and have time for questions and discussion about the practices. There will be frequent stretch breaks and options to sit on a cushion\, in a chair\, or lie on the floor. Vegetarian meals will be provided\, and we all will perform assigned tasks to contribute to the retreat experience. \nLooking forward to being with you there! \nRegistration is closed. \n \n\nVIEW EVENT DETAILS: https://staging2.kcc.org/event/the-essence-of-meditation-letting-go-into-being-oct-25/

SUMMARY:Yidam Practice: From Complexity to Intimacy with Lama Yeshe Chödrön - Half-Day + Potluck Lunch
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome Lama Karma Yeshe Chödrön of Prajna Fire as a guest teacher this week\, who will be teaching on moving from complexity to intimacy with Yidam practice. \nWith its richness of imagery and detail\, Yidam practice can appear mysterious and otherworldly — at once alluring and daunting. This talk offers a shift of perspective\, viewing that very complexity as an invitation to intimacy with our own direct experience. When we engage imagery\, mantra\, and symbolism as an array of instruments at our disposal\, yidam practice becomes a vivid exploration of mind’s sacred creativity\, supporting our path to embodying the true nature of mind. \nPlease join us for a potluck at the noon break! \nLama Karma Yeshe Chödrön is a scholar\, teacher\, and translator in the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism\, and a long-term student of Kyabje Bokar Rinpoche. Before studying Buddhism\, she completed graduate degrees in biology and law\, and worked as a litigator in Miami and Silicon Valley. \nSince 2005\, she has taught and translated Dharma texts and oral teachings from Tibetan to English for the Rigpe Dorje Institute for International Students at Pullahari Monastery in Nepal. Yeshe successfully completed the traditional Kagyu lineage three-year cloistered retreat at Vajra Vidya Retreat Center in Crestone\, Colorado in 2016\, under the auspices of Kyabje Thrangu Rinpoche. She then co-founded Prajna Fire\, an online global community aimed at sharing traditional methods for transmitting experiential understanding of Buddhadharma with Western students. Her writings have appeared in Lion’s Roar\, Buddhadharma\, and Tricycle. She is co-host of the Prajna Sparks podcast and two seasons of Opening Dharma Access: Listening to BIPOC teachers podcast. \nThis event is offered freely\, in the spirit of generosity.
