Details of this retreat

“La compasión te invita automáticamente a relacionarte con los demás, porque ya no los consideras una carga para tu energía.”– Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
En tiempos de incertidumbre, la claridad y la compasión no son lujos, sino capacidades esenciales que podemos entrenar.
Este retiro de fin de semana ofrece una oportunidad para hacer una pausa, reflexionar y reconectar con la estabilidad interior, la fortaleza y la calidez que siempre están disponibles en nosotros. Guiados por enseñanzas budistas, exploraremos cómo el miedo, la confusión y los desafíos personales no son barreras inamovibles, sino puertas a través de las cuales podemos enfrentar nuestras confusiones y temores.
A través de la meditación, el estudio, la reflexión y la experiencia compartida, consideraremos cómo la práctica puede apoyar una forma más compasiva y equilibrada de relacionarnos con nuestras vidas, relaciones, comunidades y más allá.
Abordaremos algunos elementos clave de este camino: los obstáculos comunes para convertirnos en verdaderos amigos de nosotros mismos (maitri), la apertura a una compasión genuina (karuna) y las seis perfecciones (paramitas), que siempre han sido parte de nuestra naturaleza. Desde esta base, comenzaremos a explorar la perspectiva Mahayana, donde la conciencia se profundiza en compasión y en la aspiración de beneficiar a los demás.
Este retiro se ofrecerá en inglés con interpretación consecutiva al español.

Lovely, Peaceful Oasis
Casa Werma is a beautiful, peaceful oasis just a few blocks from the heart of the Spanish colonial, small city of Patzcuaro - you get a perfect combination of a quiet garden home with an authentically Mexican, cosmopolitan life. The staff is friendly and responsive. We love the fountain with the turtles and koi, the patio with a breakfast cafe several days a week (delicious banana latte), and the expansive greenery and flowers. Yet in just a short walk we could enjoy Patzcuaro's bustling marketplace or Plaza Grande lined with cafes and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Tranquility
I have rented the casita at Casa Werma twice now and both times have felt tranquility being surrounded by nature in the beautiful garden. My time there refreshed my soul.
