Description
Session 1 summer retreat Healing Relationships
19th annual summer retreat
12 MP3. Also available on CD or DVD upon request.
Each relationship or encounter with others can lead to a meaningful spiritual connection. Our habit to regard others as friends, enemies or strangers determines our capacity to open our hearts. When we encounter difficulties and harm in our relationships, it can cause a break in trust or an end to the relationship. Whether they are near, far, or even deceased, you can heal your relationships with others here and now. We will use Buddhist common sense and meditation principles to get in deep contact with ourselves and understand the dynamics between our inner world others. Join Domo Geshe Rinpoche for this retreat on how to heal your relationships.
