The Calm Within: Clarity of Mind Retreat
Saturday, January 17th, 10am-3:30pm
with Kadampa Buddhist nun Gen Kelsang Demo
In our busy modern lives, it’s easy for our minds to become tired and tense, leaving inner peace feeling out of reach. But true mental clarity and lasting happiness are closer than we think.
In this day retreat, Gen Demo will guide meditations and teachings that help us access the natural stillness and spaciousness of our own mind. Drawing on the first stage of Buddha’s profound Mahamudra teachings, these practical methods offer genuine tools to calm the mind, reduce stress, and find balance in daily life.
Meditation on the sky-like nature of the mind is simple yet deeply transformative—perfect for both beginners and experienced meditators alike. Join us for an inspiring day of rest, reflection, and renewal. Everyone is welcome.
