Description

Many interested in meditation and yoga today understand such contemplative practices to be inward and introspective, done alone and silently. But there is more to it than that.

Lama Surya Das shows you a sophisticated yet simple path to help you integrate the unitary vision of Buddhism’s core teachings into every aspect of daily life and experience your inherent interbeing, or what he calls “shared spirituality.” Surya Das reveals his creative and original approach to help you realize that you are not alone and that, as he says, “one plus one equals oneness.”

Exercises include partner meditation and yoga, eye-gazing, tantric meditations, and meditating with music and in nature, all designed to help you deepen your bonds with others and the world around you.

This retreat offers a rich and enjoyable opportunity for individuals attending on their own and for couples who want to deepen their connections with each other. It is appropriate for both nonprofessionals and healing professionals.
