Lama Gerry completed a traditional three-year retreat in Nepal, under the guidance of Chkyi Nyima Rinpoche, in 2007. Since that time, Rinpoche has on numerous occasions requested Lama Gerry to give meditation instruction and practice advice to Rinpoches students. When Lama Gerry moved to California from Nepal in 2011, Chkyi Nyima Rinpoche asked him to teach and lead retreats at Gomde.
We asked people why they go on retreat, here's what they said:
Having our beautiful baby boy 3 months ago gave me a new perspective and outlook moving forward. Liana
We believe human beings are innately wise, strong and kind. This wisdom, although not always experienced, is always present. Going on retreat is a beautiful way to reconnect to our basic sanity and health. Our aspiration at Retreat Guru is to inspire people to experience authentic retreats and reconnect with their innate wisdom, strength and kindness.
