The retreat will focus on abiding in the natural spaciousness, awareness, and warmth of one's essential nature. Meditation practices of body, speech, and mind will be introduced, explained and guided.

THE 3 DOORS 9 MONTH ON-LINE COMPASSION PROJECT |
|
Marcy and I are pleased and excited to announce Open Registration for the 3 Doors On-line Compassion Project to begin in late September of this year.
Over the past few years Marcy and I
have received many emails and Facebook comments of support for our
programs from friends living at a distance. They often contain an
expression of disappointment at not being able to take one of our meditation
classes or retreats due to location. This was especially true with our
recent Compassion Project programs in our Contemplative Arts Meditation Studio.
Finally, with the support of live video conferencing and virtual
resource rooms, we are excited to be offering our 9-Month Compassion
Project in online format - now everyone can attend.
This
interactive online program fits into busy work schedules and is
structured with monthly teachings that are supported by guided small
group practice/discussion sessions. We can accept up to 60 people.
Please share this opportunity with anyone you know around the globe who
might be interested in learning Tibetan meditation methods that support
compassionate action and create healthier everyday patterns of body,
speech/energy/emotion, and mind.
A full description of our first on-line program, including class dates, the meditation practices introduced each month, small group discussion/practice groups, a comprehensive audio and video resource room, and private Facebook group can be found by following the link below. And again, please share this link with anyone in your personal network interested in self-compassion.
