The key to wealth, or the golden key, is appreciating that you can be poor – or should I say, unmoneyed – and still feel good because you have a sense of wealthiness in any case, already. That is the wonderful key to richness and the first step in ruling: appreciating that wealth and richness come from being a basically decent human being.

–Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Course Description

Golden Key explores a Shambhala text that works with our relationship to the “material world” and our sense perceptions. It teaches the practice of enriching presence – the ability to access the inner wealth within oneself and the natural world.

*This online program will be recorded and available to registered participants around 72 hours after the course has taken place.

Prerequisite:  Outrageous and Inscrutable.  This weekend is part of a progressive series of weekend retreats, meaning each weekend is a requirement for the following weekend.
