We hope they will also be joyful occasions to be together as a community over the summer months.

Residential Retreat at Menla, NY: 4 Maras, 4 Feasts
Join us Thursday through Sunday for the next part of the Path of Chod Healing. The subject is 4 Maras, 4 Feasts.
What troubles us in these times? Machig taught in the 12th century that demons exist inside as our neuroses. This 4-day retreat will be a deep-dive into our neurotic habits. We will look at the ways we suffer as taught on the Buddhist path– a classic way of facing-the-truth with courage and determination. Then we will discuss the 4 Feasts, which are ways to cut through suffering.
This retreat includes 4 Chod ceremonies. It is open to everyone who feels drawn to it. In exciting news, Menla is co-sponsoring Heart Sangha’s retreat.
