The Path of Transformation: Weekend Retreat

With Tulku Migmar Tsering

July 12 - 14, 2024

We invite you to join this introduction to the essential points of meditation in the Mahamudra tradition, for both Summer Immersion students and the wider public. Tulku-la will also give instructions on the core elements of mind training. Nestled in the serene hills of Cooperstown, NY, this retreat is designed to provide a welcoming space for beginners to learn the art of meditation, and those with more experience to deepen their practice.

We are delighted that Tulku Migmar will be on campus to guide us through accessible and beginner-friendly practices, offering techniques to quiet the mind, cultivate greater compassion, and ultimately transform us from within. The retreat schedule allows for a gradual and nurturing immersion into meditation, ensuring that participants feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. Retreatants will be treated to simple yet delicious meals designed to nourish both body and soul, and have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals on a shared journey towards a more meaningful life.

Whether you’re new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this retreat provides a gentle and supportive environment to allow the practice of meditation to transform your life.

Schedule Details:

For those attending in person, registration is scheduled from 3:00 to 6:00 pm on Friday evening, followed by an orientation and group practice at 7:30 pm. An additional check-in period is also provided from 8:00 to 8:30 am on Saturday morning, for those who are unable to attend Friday evening. A daily schedule will be shared shortly before the retreat begins.

Financial Support:

This retreat has been priced to cover the many costs that go into organizing such an event, which includes food, labor, supplies, and, of course, time. We strive to price our retreats to cover these costs, while leaving a modest amount of surplus to help us maintain our physical campus year-round.

We are also committed to making our retreat as accessible as possible, so for those who are in need of financial assistance for either the online or onsite retreat, please send a message to [email protected] for details on how we can help.
