Retreat on Open Presence with Tempa Lama
Sat. Feb. 25, 10am through Sun. Feb 26, 2pmMcKeever Environmental Learning Center, Sandy Lake, PA
Open Presence means facing each moment as it is without fear and without judgment. In this Retreat we will explore how we can cultivate the two aspects of Open Presence: openness and presence or awareness.

Openness and presence enable us to recognize that our experience of each moment is not separate from the nature of our mind. Read more…
