Lamrim means “stages of the path to enlightenment,” and refers to a series of meditations that help us to transform the nature of our mind so that we have more positive qualities and perspectives. We will have a weekend introductory retreat that will take us through a set of meditations that help us to establish the basis for spiritual practice. That foundation makes this retreat a great way to start the year.
We have four sessions on Saturday and four sessions on Sunday. All sessions include brief teachings, and the meditations are guided. You can attend according to your schedule; it isn’t necessary to attend every session. Of course, the more sessions you attend, the more solid your foundation will be.
