True Refuge: Realizing and Embodying Loving Presence - WTB
February 25 - 28, 2010
Retreat is Closed
Our suffering is rooted in not realizing who we are. This retreat explores how the practices of unconditional presence and compassion can awaken us from the trance of separate self and free us to live from the love and awareness that is our essence.
This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced meditators.
