Refuge Retreat
March 6th – 8th
A Great Preliminary Guide Retreat | In Person Only | Self Guided
During this retreat we will spend time developing the powerful mind of refuge, our actual protection from pain and problems. Through the practice of refuge—relying on the three jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha—we gradually build stable, peaceful and joyful minds that give us the confidence and strength to make authentic spiritual progress.
Everyone is welcome. Although this is technically an advanced retreat, beginners are welcome to participate. If you are new to this practice or need more information, contact: epc@meditateinsanfrancisco.org
