Buddhist Meditation Retreat with Greg Patenaude ⭐️

Date: Saturday, May 4, 2024
Time: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Led by: Greg Patenaude

This event is In Person

Join us for a half-day retreat exploring the foundational practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen.

Saturday, May 4th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Seattle Interfaith Community Sanctuary.

During this retreat, participants will have the opportunity to delve into the core practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen, with an emphasis on bringing the mind to rest, exploring the nature of the mind, and learning to rest in the natural primordial state. Whether you are new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this session offers a supportive environment to explore these transformative techniques. The practice instructions for this retreat come from Younge Khachab Rinpoche’s latest book, the Secret Path of the Siddhas.

The retreat will include guided meditations, teachings on the foundational practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen, and discussions that allow for questions and shared insights. It’s a perfect setting to connect with fellow travelers on the path who are on a journey of self-discovery and awakening.

This event is open to everyone. No prior experience is required, and all are welcome to join us in this immersive experience. Please visit Interfaith Community Sanctuary for more details and to plan your visit. Parking is available onsite via a driveway in the alley behind the church.

For questions please contact Greg Patenaude at siddhearta@gmail.com or call 425-830-1117.
