Dharma Ocean Northeast Weekend Retreat

A GUEST-SPONSORED RETREAT

Somatic meditation supports us in letting go of the conceptual idea of who we are and awakens the knowledge of the body. This allows us to open to the life that is unfolding before us every moment. This two-night retreat, running concurrently with the online Awakening The Body retreat at www.dharmaocean.org, will feature live Zoom teachings from Dr. Reginald Ray. Join us for this opportunity to gather together, and practice somatic meditation, in a safe setting that brings us closer to the life that is waiting to be lived.

STAY SAFE DURING COVID-19: We are committed to your health and safety; please read our COVID-19 Precautions & Preparations to understand our strategies. Class size will be limited—and much of the program will be held outdoors—to ensure ample social distancing.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The retreat falls in the middle of the Dharma Ocean online course Awakening the Body. This residential retreat is intended to complement the course, although enrollment in the course or prior experience is not expected.

Dharma Ocean is dedicated to the practice, study and preservation of the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche as passed down through the practitioner and scholar, Dr. Reginald Ray. The retreat will be led by Dr. Ray with support from local students. More information about Dharma Ocean and sample practices can be found at www.dharmaocean.org.
