Tara Triple Excellence RetreatA number of you have written to ask about our next retreat weekend, following our successful inaugural Tara Triple Excellence retreat in January.
We plan to follow the curriculum of the Tara online Program from where we left off last time, which was exploring the reflections that shift our orientation toward dharma, so this time we may reach the topics of the true meaning of refuge and the qualities of the sources of refuge.
The session format will follow the online program as before, although enrollment in the online program again is not a requisite to participate in the weekend, which is, after all, a sangha-building initiative as well.
The schedule tentatively will be similar to last time, two sessions each day and an optional sitting session Saturday evening. Ngon Dro in the early mornings for those who practice or wish to practice it.
I would also like to share the good news that we now have a custom-built drum and pair of cymbals and plan to introduce bi-weekly live and streamed Tara sadhana practice in the near future.
Please email [email protected] and copy [email protected] with Subject: TTE at BWI, by April 1, 2015 if you plan to attend this retreat weekend. In your email, also indicate whether you would like to have group lunches on site as before, and we will decide according to the wishes of most participants.
