Cultivating Our Sacred Power the Bodhisattva Way

June 24 - June 26, 2022

Elizabeth Murphy

Are you searching for ways to begin or deepen your spiritual practice?  Are you ready to take a deep dive into exploring practical, time-honored principles that, if practiced daily, have the potential to liberate and transform your life?  Let 2022 be the year you crack open your heart, and live with more compassion, more love, and more peace.Please join us for a nourishing, meditative, and spiritually courageous weekend where we will unpack the spiritual treasure that is Tomke Zangpo’s 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva.  Written in the 14th Century, these simple yet profound verses for following Mahayana Buddhism’s path to enlightenment are astonishingly applicable for us today.  Say yes to these principles and let them deeply penetrate your spirit; liberation and transformation are possible.Our group size is limited to approximately 20 people, and we expect to sell-out quickly.  Early registration is encouraged.  Everyone is welcome.

“Having never gone to a spa or retreat, I heard this is the place to go. The mountains, the hiking trails, the wildlife, and the vastness of the place set up the parameters for a happy and interesting week. Every staff person I encountered could not have been more welcoming. One new employee said all the supervisors treat each other and other employees as well as they treat their guests. Vegetarian food is fresh and excellent. Wait ’till you see the modern yet traditional spa! The main house and guest rooms are lovely. I came to learn yoga from outstanding teachers and to relax and get some care taking. Mission accomplished.”

“A Paradise in the mountains. Usually you expect basic accommodations for a Retreat Center, but the rooms are amazing.”
