Awakening Through Wisdom and the Heart

Awakening Through Wisdom and the Heart:

A Two-Day Meditation Retreat via Zoom Meeting with Anam Thubten

The New Year is a time to review how we have been living and set spiritual resolutions. It can be a time to find our old patterns, shed them, and redirect our attention to higher principles such as awakening. It is a time to start the year with immersion into practices that can give rise to wisdom and expand our heart. A meditation retreat in this potent season can help us to live with more awareness in the coming year. In this online retreat, Anam Thubten will offer meditation guidance and talks based on the teachings of Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.
