Yidam Practice: From Complexity to Intimacy with Lama Yeshe Chödrön – Half-Day + Potluck Lunch
Yidam practice can appear mysterious and otherworldly — at once alluring and daunting. By engaging imagery, mantra, and symbolism as instruments, it becomes a vivid exploration of mind’s sacred creativity, supporting our path to embodying the true nature of mind.
Shamatha Meditation – PM
At the beginning of each session, brief instruction to the practice of Shamatha will be given. After a 45-minute session, there will be a teaching or question-and-answer period with participants.
