SUMMARY:RETREAT—Chöd\, Part 1 with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
DESCRIPTION:Cutting through Fear and Attachment: The Practice of Chöd in the Bon Tradition\nMany of life’s challenges arise from fear and attachment—the core obstacles to recognizing our true nature. Chöd\, an ancient Tibetan practice\, offers a direct and creative way to cut through these patterns. Traditionally practiced in wild or challenging environments\, Chöd uses chant\, rhythm\, and visualization to meet fear with wisdom and compassion. At its heart\, the practice reveals that what we fear externally reflects inner attachments and emotional habits. In cutting through our negativities we transform our inner and outer worlds\, heal ourselves\, and open up toward our full creative potential and presence. \nIn this teaching\, you’ll explore how to transform fear\, dissolve emotional conflict\, and reconnect you with your natural state—open\, aware\, creative\, and fearless. Our Chöd retreat will consist of 2 separate weekends in 2026: April 25 + 26 and October 24 + 25 \nLocation:The Berkeley Alembic2820 Seventh St\, Berkeley\, CA 94710In person : $185/ low income $125Zoom: Sliding scale $85-$130 \nFor any questions contact: Susan Killian susansnyderk@gmail.com \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				In-person Registration\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Online Registration
