Join us for a transformative retreat focused on restoring and revitalizing our life force through self-realization. This retreat shares the teachings, transmission, and initiation of the Tsewang Jarima of Tsewang Rikdzin —an ancient longevity practice from the Bön tradition of Tibet.
This retreat includes:
- Transmission of ancient Tibetan wisdom in modern and accessible ways and with direct guidance on integrating these practices into daily life.
- Initiation into the Tséwang Jarima, the longevity practice of Tséwang Rikdzin – a powerful and ancient method to extend lifespan, deepen awareness and reconnect to our vital essence.
- Exploration of the stories and identities that restrict our ability to fully engage with life and how to work with them for personal growth and transformation.
- Transforming self-destructive behaviours into actions that promote well-being and positive outcomes.
- Opportunities for overcoming self-grasping by understanding how attachment leads to suffering, dis-ease, and constriction of one’s true self.
Core Teachings & Practices
- Cultivating longevity through inner clarity.
- Recognizing and resting in the ever-present nature of awareness.
- Cultivating resilience in body and mind to break free from self-deception.
- Transforming the five poisons of anger, desire, pride, envy and ignorance into the wisdom of the five Buddha families
- Restoring our life force through the five elements of space, air, fire, water and earth.
Through authentic initiation, direct transmission, practical instruction and guided practice, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to realize your true self, cultivate longevity, and live with greater awareness, vitality, and strength.
