All That Matters
While there are myriad ways to meditate, all yogic and spiritual
disciplines include some form of practice that develops
concentration and quiets the mind. In Classical Yoga, this skill is
called dharana or concentration, and it is the foundation upon which
more advanced meditative practice is built. The deepening of this
fundamental skill will enhance any form of meditation.
This workshop is designed to do just that. Periods of seated
meditation – verbally guided with carefully crafted, developmentally
sequenced instruction – will alternate with question-and-answer
sessions, presentation, movement, and discussion. Whether you are
new to meditation or have an established practice, this retreat has
something for you.

All That Matters
This workshop explores the Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice of
Tonglen and its powerful potential to heal negative emotional
states and transform suffering itself – both our own and that of
others. Tibetan Buddhist master Sogyal Rinpoche said the “holy
secret of Tonglen is one that the mystic masters and saints of every
tradition know; and living and embodying it is what fills their
lives with joy.” We will also look at the role this practice plays
in cultivating Bodhicitta, a Sanskrit word meaning
awakened heart, the source and root of all spiritual paths.
Participants will gain a very powerful tool that can be integrated
into their lives to deepen their spirituality and transform the
suffering they see in themselves and others.

Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years, across
cultures, traditions, and continents. While the techniques used are
myriad, the goals remain the same: to touch something larger and
deeper within, to transcend the ordinary sense of self, to see
through our distortions and confusion, leading us to greater wisdom
and freedom.
Participants in this workshop will experientially explore and come
to appreciate a range of mediation techniques, discover which
approaches best suit them, and understand what links these
apparently disparate techniques together – what defines them as
meditation.

What would
it be like to be fully alive, awake, and whole? To live a life of
vitality, expressiveness, and passion while remaining peaceful and
equanimous under all circumstances? The ancient yogis sought just
that by tapping prana, the vital life energy of the universe, to
kindle a fire in the belly that could be channeled into a deep and
abiding peace in the heart.
Discover the secrets of their path. Cultivate an integrated practice
to facilitate energetic attunement, raise the store of prana in the
body, and channel that energy into transcendent states. In this

Channel its flow to deepen and intensify your meditation practice
