Longevity & Vitality Through Self-Realization

Join us for one or both weeks for a transformative retreat focused on restoring and revitalizing our life force through self-realization. This retreat shares the teachings, transmission, and initiation of the Tsewang Jarima of Tsewang Rikdzin —an ancient longevity practice from the Bӧn tradition of Tibet.

Important update: On the occasion of the recent passing of Yongdzin Tenzin Namgak Rinpoche, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche’s root lama, and teacher to many in our sangha, we must make some changes to what was initially announced for this retreat.
First, His Holiness Dawa Dhargyal Rinpoche, the 34th Menri Trizin, will not be able to attend because of his many responsibilities at this time.
Second, honoring Yongdzin Rinpoche’s teachings—and the long, peaceful life he lived grounded in self-arising wisdom (Rangjung Yeshe)—we will dedicate part of our sessions to remembering him.
We have changed the retreat description according to this updated information.

This Retreat Includes:

• Transmission of ancient Tibetan wisdom in modern and accessible ways and with direct guidance on integrating these practices into daily life.Initiation by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Rinpoche is inspired to offer an initiation honoring the occasion of Yongdzin Rinpoche’s passing. This will be the first time he is offering a  formal initiation. 
• Exploration of the stories and identities that restrict our ability to fully engage with life and how to work with them for personal growth and transformation.
• Transforming self-destructive behaviours into actions that promote well-being and positive outcomes.
• Opportunities for overcoming self-grasping by understanding how attachment leads to suffering, disease, and constriction of one’s true self.

Core Teachings & Practices

• Cultivating longevity through inner clarity.
• Recognizing and resting in the ever-present nature of awareness.
• Cultivating resilience in body and mind to break free from self-deception.
