Half-Day Mini Meditation Retreat with Kelsang Lekso

Sat, Nov 2nd, 10 am - 1 pm

We are all living in uncertain times, both globally and personally. It is easy to feel troubled by everything that we see in the world, and upset by the difficulties that we’re dealing with daily.

Times of change and uncertainty can be unsettling, but they also can become transformative. By learning to accept and embrace change, we free our mind from fear and anxiety and can cultivate wisdom views that help us keep calm and positive amidst the uncertainty of our lives.

Emotional Alchemy Joshua Tree Retreat
Magical Play of Taking & Giving

Fri, 1/24 -  Mon, 1/27

Navigating difficult, and especially long term emotional reactions and negative tendencies is one of the greatest challenges we have as humans. Sometimes we can even feel powerless to change a persistent negative emotional pattern as despite our best intentions and all of our intellectual knowledge and techniques, they get the best of us every time.

Instead of trying to push away the negative emotional states we carry, we can feel them and transform them into the supreme mind of compassion. This is the practice of alchemy, where we take our own poisons and transmute them into gold.
