Resting in a Rain of Blessings: A Deep-Practice Retreat on Lineage (Hybrid)

Join Lama Liz Monson and Camille Hykes for a deep-practice retreat devoted to resting in the living stream of lineage blessing. Through meditation, devotion, and reflection, we will open to the radiant field of wisdom that flows from the awakened hearts of the great masters into our own.

This deep-practice retreat invites us to connect directly with the luminous energy of awakening transmitted through authentic lineage. Drawing inspiration from the lives and realizations of great Tibetan masters such as Longchenpa and Milarepa, we will engage in intensive meditation, devotional practice, and reflection to attune to the living current of blessing that continues to flow through time and space.

Please join us to:

• Rest in the living stream of lineage blessing and wisdom
• Deepen our connection with the awakened hearts of great lineage masters
• Explore how transmission bridges time and dissolves distance
• Open into the luminous mind of our true nature

This hybrid retreat focuses on intensive meditation inspired by the energy and teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist lineage. We will connect from the heart with the energy and power of awakening transmitted by key lineage figures, who continue to inform and invigorate our practice today.

This retreat is open to all and is also intended as a deepening, experiential encounter with lineage following the eight-week course Sacred Transmission Through Time and Space: A Text Study on Lineage, taught by Lama Liz and Ron Thomas, Jan. 7 – Feb. 25, 2026. Through meditation, reflection, and devotional practice, participants will explore how authentic lineage serves as a living stream of awakening, bringing the energy of the great masters into our own hearts and lives. Please bring clothing suitable for meditation and movement. 

All are welcome. Full attendance is encouraged. Participation in the 8-week Sacred Transmission course is encouraged but not required.

This Hybrid retreat will be offered in person at Wonderwell (Residential option) and Live via Zoom (Online option). To Register, please choose one of the options in the YELLOW panel.
