vajrasattva retreat

vajrasattva retreat

2 Day Immersive Retreat | May 18 – 19

About the Retreat

Lama Zopa Rinpoche says there is no better practice than purification. During this retreat you will learn how to purify negative karma with the powerful practice of Vajrasattva in the context of the Four Opponent Powers.

You will be led through a series of meditations and practices which encourage you to release anxiety over past regrettable actions and help you affirm your positive aspirations. These simple practices of prayer, meditation, and mantra recitation are an extremely effective way of developing a more relaxed, peaceful, and happier approach to life.

“The Vajrasattva practice can lead us beyond ego, beyond grasping, and beyond the dualistic mind. That’s what the Vajrasattva practice is about.” – Lama Yeshe

4 Day Immersive Retreat | 29 March – 1 April 2024

About the Retreat

The 21st century is a stressful time to be alive. With anxiety and overwhelm becoming the norm, it’s easy to feel like we’ve lost our sense of purpose and direction, but most self-care advice rarely offers more than band-aid solutions.

At this retreat, you’ll dive deep into understanding the root causes of anxiety and stress and learn how to turn your emotions from destructive to constructive.

A unique combination of emotions research and Buddhist approaches to mental health will put you in the driver’s seat of your stress, relationships and emotional reactions.

Run in the format of a meditation retreat, you’ll take away strategies to keep calm under pressure and be in control of your life, relationships, and responsibilities.

Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in your emotional wellbeing and rediscover a sense of purpose and control in your life.
