“Happiness isn’t something we need to find or achieve.
It is the very core of our being.”
–Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche
Join renowned meditation master Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche for a special workshop exploring how meditation can improve and transform our lives.
In this workshop, Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche will provide instructions and guided meditation on the unique type of meditation presented in his book Our Pristine Mind: A Practical Guide to Unconditional Happiness. Many people are familiar with mindfulness meditation. Pristine Mind meditation is an approach to meditation without an object, that goes beyond mindfulness to help us find happiness within and bring about greater health and a deep sense of well-being. The instruction in this workshop will allow us to access and experience our own pristine minds, and will provide a practical introduction to the profound transformative effects of this type of practice.
During the workshop we will meditate together, as a group, and will learn how this meditation helps us clean the mind, experience unconditional happiness, transform every area of our lives, and journey toward enlightenment.
No previous experience with meditation is necessary.
This workshop is $20 - $40 sliding scale.
