BHUTAN: Blessings of the Heart, Meditation & Service

Created by Dr. Sheri Rosenthal (See other events)
BHUTAN: Blessings of the Heart, Meditation & ServiceDecember 9-21st, 2010Not many people have actually heard about Bhutan Land of the Thunder Dragon, or even know where it is located. For many years this little country about the size of Switzerland has been off limits of foreigners. You must realize that Bhutan is not like any place you are likely to travel to.The people are Tantric Buddhists who also have a Shamanistic background called Bon and a fantastic history filled with legends and mythology. In fact, one of the highlights of our journey is hiking to Tigers Nest where Guru Rinpoche flew to on the back of a flaming tigress! Indeed, the monasteries are magical and beautiful in ways that I cannot begin to describe.Thankfully we will have the opportunity to spend a day at one of the annual religious dance festivals, to immerse ourselves in ancient tradition. As part of our journey a Lama will be preparing a special prayer and blessing ceremony for us. We'll also be giving of ourselves and helping some of the nuns by being in service. Through meditation, chanting, prayer and ceremony we will expand our consciousness and cultivate the compassion of Buddha within us. 2010 trip cost is: $5195.00 USD per person double occupancy, all meals and roundtrip airfare from Bangkok to Bhutan included.As is typical for a Journeys of the Spirit retreat, you will experience class time daily, time for sharing with the group, reflection and meditation time, and one-on-one personal time with your group leader (along with fun and shopping time too of course!). It is our intent that you return home with an open heart and mind along with the tools you need to make the changes in your life you desire.
