Snow Lion Winter Meditation Retreat

With Gaylon Ferguson and Arawana Hayashi

December 27, 2021 - January 2, 2022

Join us for our annual week long meditation intensive, an opportunity to fully immerse oneself in mindfulness meditation. This week-long program is open to all, beginning and experienced meditators.

Snow lions delight in crisp mountain air. They frolic and play in an atmosphere of basic splendidness enjoying freshness on the spot. Synchronizing body and mind, they radiate an unconditional healthiness that includes illness and health, life and death. Please join us for an end-of-the-year beginning-of-the-year retreat practice of Shambhala meditation, the felt personal experience of basic goodness and enlightened society.

In addition to daily meditation practice, participants listen to talks, have conversations about their practice, and can have individual meetings with meditation teachers. Some of the days will be in silence.

PLEASE NOTE: Because of concerns about the continued COVID situation, this in-person program is for individuals who are fully vaccinated, including a booster. Additionally, in-person participation will be limited to 10 people.  Weather permitting, some activities will happen outdoors.  

In-person participation is now closed. You can participate in this program virtually via Shambhala Online, by clicking here to register.
