  • Canceled City Retreat: Another World is Possible

    Maitreya Institute Amsterdam Tilanusstraat 8a, Amsterdam, BH, Netherlands

    September 26 – 28 As we emerge from the global Covid experience, the path may seem littered with confusion, violence, and alienation. Rather than grow dismayed by external experiences that show cruelty and heartlessness, how can we use our vulnerability to effectively channel this energy into a more supportive practice? This beautiful practice explores a path of inner transformation by being present with our pain, fear, and aversion. It incorporates Lam Rim meditation along with the sadhana and mantra recitation of Green Tara. By opening our hearts in kindness to ourselves, the potential exists for our external reality to shift more beneficially as well. Open to all levels.
