In person retreat with John Makransky and Jessica Morey.

From a Tibetan Buddhist perspective, our buddha nature is the boundless space of awareness, warmth, and wisdom that is always present beneath our conditioned patterns of thought and reaction. This retreat introduces three modes of meditation—receptive, deepening, and inclusive—drawn from Tibetan Buddhism and supported by insights from modern psychology. These meditations are designed to help us realign with our innate buddha qualities, making us into a profoundly healing environment for all parts of ourselves and others, from which to hold all in a sustaining power of compassion and wisdom.

This retreat is both for Buddhist practitioners and for people of all faiths who have previous contemplative experience and seek an accessible way to cultivate unconditional love and wisdom. The weekend will include explanation of the principles of the practice, guided meditations, Q&A, and discussion. Noble silence will be practiced.

Prerequisites: At least two years of daily contemplative practice (meditation or prayer). And before the retreat, please read John’s book, How Compassion Works, or as much of it as possible. Meditation handouts will be provided.
