Shambhala Level II: Birth of a Warrior

Nov 10-12, Friday: 7:00-8:30pm & Saturday/Sunday 11:00am-8:00pm EST

Having experienced a taste of basic goodness, we want to go forward. Meditation practice allows us to observe how we create a cocoon of habits to mask our fear. We begin to appreciate that there is no fundamental obstacle to experiencing basic goodness.

This is a graduated progressive series of weekend retreats, meaning each weekend is a requirement for the following weekend.
