About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

There are many reasons to meditate – it is good for your health, it can relieve stress, and it can help you be more mindful in your daily life.  But from the Buddhist perspective, meditation is much more – it is a way to connect with the deep and profound goodness of our humanity.  That goodness manifests as caring, curiosity, and courage.

We could say these three principles are the qualities we had when we were born.  Because they are innate, they are not learned over time, improved with education, or diminished by life’s misfortunes.  These treasures are within us waiting to be discovered.

Join us to explore how caring, curiosity and courage can become potent elements of our sitting practice as well as foster a loving attitude towards ourselves and a merciful approach to others.
What to Expect
This course will consist of six sessions: (1) an opening session, followed by one session each devoted to (2) caring, (3) curiosity, and (4) courage, and ending with (5) a closing session. Allow some time for homework, practice, and contemplation between sessions.

(Online) Shambhala Training Level IV: Awakened Heart
It was a great opportunity to complete Level IV online. The zoom format worked perfectly and although we were not physically together, it still gave us a sense of being in community. I highly recommend it.

Winter haiku John McQuade
A lovely series of sharing haiku, with interesting insights re contemplative writing from John, through the dark of Winter. The retreat was also very well run and prepared by Dan. Both are a credit to Dorje Denma Ling. It was much appreciated, thank-you.

Deep Resonance - Haiku
I very much enjoyed the class with John McQuade. I felt supported in exploring my own attempts at Haiku and appreciated the depth of knowledge expressed in each class. I found the process of writing Haiku to be deeply supportive in being with this uncertain time.
