Four-Month Human Development Retreat
Upcoming retreat dates are: August 30 to December 16, 2009.
This retreat provides students with an intense four-month period of study and practice of Nyingma teachings. The retreat curriculum is a program in human development, working both cognitively and experientially with mind, body, and spiritual awareness. Students develop insight into the nature of consciousness, emotion, thought, embodiment, and feeling. Exercises release the hold of negative habitual patterning within body and mind, allowing previously untapped human qualities to emerge. Participants are instructed in how to integrate their new knowledge and way of being within daily life so that what is learned in the retreat continues to unfold and develop.
Daily instruction sessions begin at 6:30 AM and are alternated with periods of study and practice. Retreatants also attend evening classes and weekend workshops, for a total of 616 hours.
