Friday: 5pm to 7pm, Saturday: 9am to 5pm, Sunday 9am to 3pm
Live In-Person and Hybrid Course with Kasumi Kato and Scott Anderson
Community is a significant part of what we do in the Tergar Meditation Community. While we maintained our connection during the pandemic via Zoom and other online platforms, many of us are coming together in-person for the first time. Solitary practice is a significant part of the tradition held by Mingyur Rinpoche, though practicing in the same space with others provides a container of support that can facilitate our ongoing development as practitioners. In this practice retreat, we’ll celebrate time together, both virtually and in-person, and reconnect to the essential elements of what we do; practice, teachings, connecting to our teacher and connecting to each other. Each day will focus on meditation practice, along with instructional videos by Mingyur Rinpoche and discussions facilitated by Kasumi and Scott.
If you are planning on participating in this event via zoom, a link will be send to you a week before the begining of the course.
