Daylong Meditation Retreat
with Ram Dev Dale Borglum
Saturday, June 25th
10am – 4pm PT / 1pm – 7pm ET
$45
Come be a part of satsang for a rich daylong meditation before the holiday weekend
We invite you to join us for a dedicated meditation retreat. This is not a workshop, this is a meditation retreat. Dive into a rich meditative exploration of the healing path that ultimately brings us into a state of fierce compassion, focus, empowerment, and boundless spaciousness.
Dedicating a day for practice in the midst of a busy summer reinforces for ourselves that practice is happening in every moment, regardless of season, day, time, or circumstance. We lessen the gap between “I’ll meditate on that day and time” versus “Everything is a meditation.”
The guided meditations will bring us into deepened awareness and include all stages of the meditative path from embodied mindfulness to compassion and open heartedness to tantric deity practices, and finally, non-duality non-practice.
This retreat will be a combination of guided sitting and walking meditations interspersed with short dharma talks. Ram Dev will teach walking meditation for those who haven’t practiced it before.
You are also welcome to just listen to the instructions and meditate in any way you’d like as though we were together in person in community.
It is encouraged to make this a day of silence except for the Q&A sessions and discussions with Ram Dev.
A private zoom link will be emailed a few days before the retreat.
