Details of this retreat
Rest, Nourish, Realize and Renew:
Transforming Life and Health through Nature, Movement, Breath, and Meditation
Through stillness, silence and awareness, make genuine contact with the sky of your being. Your recognition of this inner spaciousness is the inner sun that shines. The internal warmth allows the flowering of infinite positive qualities in your life. - Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
As spring awakens, the world comes alive—longer days, fresh growth, returning birds, and gentle rains that nurture new life. By connecting with these natural rhythms, we support our own wellbeing. This retreat is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and bring awareness, renewal, and transformation into everyday life.
Over three days, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and guests will share ancient methods, supported by modern research and scientific findings, to realize our inner source of well being and grow beyond often unconscious self-defined limits to engage with our lives in creative, inspired and fun ways. We will discover ways to release stress, decrease anxiety, enhance energy, support health through mindful eating, deepen inner peacefulness, and reconnect to ourselves and the world around us. Be empowered to make healthier choices that support your wellness on every level!
