In Kapala Training Level III we will go deeper into Machig Labdrön’s teachings and receive a profound new practice of hers. Participants will also expand their FYD journey with collective applications of the work, and working with the demon of ego-clinging.

We invite anyone who has already received instruction in the Dentog Chigma Chöd to join us for a day of practice, teachings and reflection. We’ll review key sections of the practice and discuss the inner meaning of the teachings. We’ll also discuss visualization, revisit melodies, drum rhythms, and mudras.

Often we avoid meditation due to physical limitations or discomfort and this need not be the case. Come learn how you can adapt your meditation seat and posture so that meditation is a place of refuge and nourishment for body and soul. This weekend retreat will provide therapeutic experiences to help create ease, comfort, and joy in your meditation practice.

As mothers, aunties, grandmothers, caretakers and meditators, we are the core of our families and communities. This workshop is designed to offer a place of rest and transformation within the embrace of our practice and community. By taking time to care for ourselves and witness the gifts we are offering, we will fortify our connection to ourselves, our families and our communities.

On a daily basis, our minds run wild and fall victim to afflictive emotions like suffering, depression, laziness, and distractions. At the heart of the Buddhist path, training the mind is essential. The practice of Shamatha (Calm Abiding) meditation develops one-pointed concentration as a means for developing a calm and focused mind.

LOCATION: Halifax Shambhala Centre In this immerseive weekend, we will connect with the luminous compassion of Green Tara, the femal buddha of compassion, and our own innate, awakened heart through deity visualization, mantra recitation, mudras, musical offering and feast offering. This retreat is open to everyone. There are no prerequisites.

The Heart Essence of Profound Meaning is the root of most of the later instructions on Severance (Chöd), the enactment of the perfection of wisdom. In this Study Intensive, Lama Sarah Harding will provide in-depth instructions and delve into these teachings from an important Severance tradition.

Join us as we follow the Buddha’s path to enhanced wisdom, inner peace, and joy in this foundational 7-day online retreat. Polly Ryan will lead students through the Buddha’s life story, his teachings and strategies for students to develop a daily meditation practice.
