Transmitting the Blessing of Compassion
With Lama John Makransky and Lama Liz Monson
December 13 - 15, 2019
Sorry! Registration is closed.
In this weekend program, Lama John Makransky and Lama Liz Monson will explore how practicing compassion and receiving blessings work in tandem to help us access our deepest nature of loving-kindness and wisdom. By deepening our receptivity to love and compassion, we discover that compassion and wisdom are intrinsically part of who we are. And as we learn to extend these qualities to others, we realize that we are already and always deeply connected with them, and with the transformative energies that we need to awaken.
The retreat will be held in noble silence.
Wonderwell Mountain Refuge strives to offer retreats in a manner that is non-cost prohibitive and inclusive to persons of all means. If the full retreat cost would create an undue financial burden, we encourage persons to apply for scholarship and work-study. Whether one needs to request aid to defer a large or small portion of the cost of a retreat so as not to incur a financial burden, we strive to accommodate you. This link will take you to information about our work-study and scholarship possibilities. Depending on the type of work that you do, you may be eligible for a Hemera Contemplative Fellowship.
