The Nine Winds, with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

Serenity Ridge Retreat Center

Join us for this special retreat with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche on practices of breath and awareness to transform personal suffering.

In The Nine Winds: Exploring the Union of Breath and Awareness, the winds (lung, prana, or chi) are the essential energy underlying all of existence. In the chapter of the Bön Mother Tantra, “The Unceasing Sphere of Light,” nine winds describe the movements of the layers of consciousness from gross to subtle. These winds move not only within us, but also collectively, through our families, communities and our whole world-system. Everything, from the subtlest reality of the nature of mind to the grossest physical forces moves according to the forces of these winds. In this retreat we will engage in practices of breath and awareness that support the transformation of suffering due to four of the nine winds: blockages causing disease, karmic patterns held in our body and energetic field, emotional wounds, and obscurations of the conceptual mind that impede self-realization. As we open, we enhance pathways that support positive expression, transforming our perception of self and other, bringing benefit to the health of our body, our relations, and our world.Real-time translations will be available in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, and Slovak.
