Because our mind shapes every experience we have, improving our life begins with improving our mind. To do this, we first need to discover what the mind actually is and how it functions.
Join us for this retreat with visiting teacher Gen Kelsang Lhachog featuring guided meditations and teachings based on the book How to Understand the Mind by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. Through practical and experiential exploration, we will learn to recognize, understand, and gradually refine our inner world. As our insight deepens, we will discover tools to transform daily experience and open the door to a more peaceful, joyful, and spiritually meaningful way of being.
