Retreats:
Offered both in Calgary and in quiet locations just outside the city limits. Take a weekend off of running errands and connect inside. Enjoy teaching, guided meditations, opportunity for meaningful discussion as well as periods of silence. Open to all levels of experience.
Day Courses:
Day courses highlight different aspects of Buddhist teachings to help develop stronger understanding and connection in life. Listen to teachings, participate in group discussions, question and answer sessions, and short meditations.
Empowerments:
Empowerments are a special blessing ceremony giving the mind the positive energy needed to progress on the Spiritual Path. Each empowerment focuses on a particular Buddha showing the special nature and functions of each Buddha. As well, steps and practices are taught so people can learn how to embody the virtuous qualities of that Buddha in day to day living.
