UPCOMING EVENTS
This residential retreat is a unique opportunity for anyone wishing to practice in accordance with the teachings of Mingyur Rinpoche and under the guidance of experienced Tergar instructors Edwin Kelley and Myoshin Kelley, to come together and meditate, regardless of where you might be on the path.
We all have innate qualities of wisdom, love and compassion and awareness yet it is hard to stay in touch with these qualities when our health and wellbeing has been deeply challenged. Getting the diagnosis can bring about a lot of emotions and is certainly overwhelming. There's so much to consider, reflect on, and process.
We invite you to join a special program designed specifically for those walking the breast cancer journey led by Tergar Instructor Myoshin Kelley and Chief Operating Officer of Tergar International Emilda Rahim.
This 6-week program was developed from Emilda’s vision of integrating meditation into the recovery journey based on her own path of recovery. It is brought to life through the teaching expertise of Myoshin Kelley, an expert in the Six Paramitas, whose wisdom and guidance ensure participants receive practical tools and support to incorporate meditation into their daily lives. Together, they will focus on helping participants navigate the challenges of recovery and build a foundation for lasting well-being.
Retreat gives us the time and space to explore our experience and discover aspects of your being that are difficult to connect with in everyday life. It allows you to focus on meditation practice throughout the day, both on and off the cushion. A community retreat has the additional benefit of being supported by the practice of others.
This is the second year offering the Joy of Living Program in its entirety as a one-month retreat program. This program was developed at Mingyur Rinpoche’s request, and offers participants the opportunity to receive the Joy of Living 1, 2 and 3 teachings, and complete the homework simultaneously in a retreat context. These introduce the foundations of meditation practice, focusing on awareness, loving-kindness and compassion and wisdom. Learning the Joy of Living in this way allows for profound experiential learning, deepening of one’s personal practice, and the opportunity to see how each of these levels integrate and support one another.
In the Buddhist tradition, the cultivation of wisdom and compassion is considered the key to transforming the mind and alleviating our suffering. Cultivating wisdom involves letting go of fixed perceptions of how the world appears to be and looking at how things actually are. As freeing as this ultimately is, the path can often feel scary and challenging. Thus we need to practice in a way that is infused with compassion or a tender heart that wants to alleviate suffering. A compassion that becomes more informed by wisdom.
