Details of this retreat

In this retreat we will explore three aspects of Buddhist Yoga and inner science - meditations from the healing tradition, yogic rejuvenation or Chulen breath practices and longevity rituals for summoning our lost or declined vitality.

The traditional Buddhist Yogic techniques of subtle breath, meditation and sound are applied for healing from within or contacting one’s “inner healer or inner medicine.” Through sequenced postures and movements, the life force and vital essence of the body is cultivated and freed in support of longevity and profound rejuvenation.

While learning the fundamentals of the vital energy system we gain insight into the interplay between body and mind, and ultimately access greater wisdom and compassion.

In this weekend, we will examine inner causes of illness and imbalance and Buddhist meditations to heal our sense of separateness, to one of connection. Drawing upon the outer elements of fall and amid a serene mountain landscape, we will nourish the inner elements for rejuvenation (Chulen)

In the yogic practice of Longevity (tsedrup) we move deeper into the rhythms of the vital energy to contact dynamic resources of embodied compassion - a loving awareness at the heart of these interconnected systems of healing.

The principles and practices can all be adapted, and even applied for self-healing, therapy or clinical care. These powerful transformative techniques can support healing from trauma, grief, loss or anxiety and depression.

Weekend retreat stay
The property is on a beautiful, peaceful location.
Nature is all around and sometimes a little too close but you are literally surrounded by woods.

The food was really good and I liked the buffet style and fruit basket.

The gift shop although small had a nice selection of items and I purchased a few fun items.

Since the dining area was on the opposite side of the site from the convention center, a lot of students drove back and forth on the property. I chose the walking paths to get around.

Lovely
I had a fascinating and enlightening experience during an “Energy squared Reiki,” class at Menlo this past week. The grounds, rooms, facilities amenities and spa at Menla were all beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The food was delicious and nourishing. I can say only good things about both Menla and the program I attended, and would wholeheartedly recommend both.
