Join us for a profound weekend intensive, "Settling the Mind in Its Natural State," specifically designed for Vajrayana Mahamudra Practitioners. This retreat offers a dedicated space to deepen your practice through the lens of Mahamudra Shamatha, focusing on the essential arts of resting, looking, and embodying presence.

As a classic shamata meditation focused on the mind and its appearances, this practice serves as both a perfect preparation for and a vital supplement to your broader Vajrayana path. It is a profound and subtle practice, well-suited for contemporary practitioners seeking to stabilize the mind within its own natural clarity amid the complexities of modern life.

The Practice & Transmission

This intensive serves as a bridge between formal meditation and the lived experience of presence. Khandro-la will offer a crash course in this nuanced practice—one that is often difficult to grasp from books alone, as it is traditionally transmitted directly by the masters. This is a rare opportunity to receive direct guidance on stabilizing the mind.
