Half-day retreat offering more extensive instruction to those who have completed a Calming the Mind Joy of Living Meditation Workshop.

"The teachings in The Joy of Living are really remarkable. I have listened to the teachings 30 or 40 times, but even so, every time I hear them there's something new there...a new understanding. So don't think 'Oh, I already watched those one time, I don't need to do it again.' You should actually receive those teachings again and again." —Senior Tergar Lama Khenpo Kunga

Dig deeper into the Joy of Living Level I teachings in this half-day mini-retreat. The teachings that you have already received in Calming the Mind provide an introduction to awareness meditation and hopefully have helped you establish a basis for daily practice. But there’s more. Deepen your experiential understanding of open awareness, meditating with the senses, and meditating with thoughts and emotions as you take a break from work or home routines to nourish yourself and rejuvenate your mind and practice. No matter how many times you have explored these teachings, the opportunity to discover more is always there.

Joy of Living mini–retreats offer more extensive instruction to those who have participated in Joy of Living meditation workshops and residential retreats. Each session includes video teachings by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche (featuring material that is not shown in Joy of Living meditation workshops), as well as guided meditations, group discussion, and walking meditation.

This event is freely offered to those who have previously attended Calming the Mind: Joy of Living Level I, whether online or in person, but we ask that you register.
