The Light of Awareness:

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

There are two forces competing with each other in all of us. One pulls us into unawareness, which is the basis of all suffering. The other force is awareness, which leads us to freedom, love, and even transcendence. The good news is that we all have a choice to be aligned with awareness.

During this retreat, Anam Thubten will invite participants to ignite the light of awareness inside and immerse themselves in it. He will speak about how to replace the habit of unawareness with the habit of awareness. This will not only be of benefit to ourselves but enable us to become a source of goodness to the world around us. During this powerful time, it is more essential than ever for us to ascend into a more enlightened state of mind, for the benefit of all.
