My Mind, My Sanctuary 23 MAY to 30 May, 2025

7-Day Residential Retreat

This retreat is designed to help participants cultivate a sustainable practice of shamatha (calm abiding) and vipassana (mindfulness) meditation. It is ideal for those eager to build a foundational understanding of Buddhist meditation and explore its relevance in addressing life's challenges.

Self-Discovery

Do you know who you are?

Are you aware of the behavioral patterns that do not serve you well?

What are their underlying causes, and do you possess the solutions to transform them?

If there is no stillness, there is no silence.

If there is no silence, there is no insight.

If there is no insight, there is no clarity.

- Tenzin Priyadashi Rinpoche

Course Structure

Over the course of seven days, retreatants will engage in daily meditation practices that promote both insight and stability. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and discuss key insights, creating a deeper connection to the teachings.

Join us in this journey of self-exploration and return home with greater clarity and understanding of your mind and meditation practice
