This weekend retreat is being offered through Shambhala Online.  If we have at least 3 registrations, we will participate as a group to watch the live-stream teachings and have in-person practice, discussions and community at the Minneapolis Shambhala Center. The best of both worlds: an outstanding international teacher connected with Centers around the world, received in the community of our own Center!

October 26 & 27, 2024

10:00 am – 5:30 pm central time

Course Description

Participants will explore a text written by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche that gives the instruction for a practice called “raising windhorse.”  Windhorse or “lungta” in Tibetan, could be likened to “chi / qi”, or “life force energy.”  Participants will learn the practice of “raising windhorse” as an immediate way to open the heart, refresh confidence, and connect with the present moment. This practice is a powerful way to bring about skillful and heartfelt social engagement, enabling the warrior to go forward in the midst of the tremendous challenges we are facing in our world.

Great Eastern Sun is a prerequisite for this course.

The course teacher is Ellen Mains.
