Breath and Mantra Meditation Retreat | April 18

Breath and Mantra: A Special Meditation Retreat

With Special Guest Teacher, modern Buddhist monk Gen Kelsang Norbu

Saturday, April 18, 10am – 3pm in Columbia

This is a very special opportunity to experience the deep inner peace that comes from a concentrated mind.

Life can be hectic and overwhelming; it’s easy to be “on” all the time without ever taking the time to be quiet and enjoy a simple day of rest and recharging. In this retreat, there is a wonderful opportunity to take a break and enjoy a day of stillness, meditation, rest and reflection.

This retreat will include guided meditations on the breath using the very simple yet profound mantra; OM AH HUM, the mantra of all Buddhas. Guest Teacher Gen Norbu will guide 3 short meditation sessions to help lead the mind to a state of deep concentration and peace.

Everyone welcome. No prior experience necessary.
