Compassion, Presence, and Nonduality

“Compassion, Presence, and Nonduality,”

A two-day meditation retreat with Norman Fischer, Trudy Goodman, and Anam Thubten

March 9 & 10, 2024

These topics have great relevance to our daily life and the relationship between ourselves and our world. In this retreat, these three teachers will invite everyone to understand and embody these timeless spiritual principles, which can bring freedom to our hearts. Practicing compassion, presence and nonduality can help us become a positive influence in the world and live the path of a bodhisattva. The retreat will have periods of meditation as well as Dharma talks by each teacher.
