We are fortunate to welcome Adam Kane, Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s primary translator and a senior Fully Being facilitator, for a weekend meditation retreat at Drala Mountain Center.

In secluded mountain beauty, this retreat will be an experiential journey through the Fully Being path. Rooted in the deep wisdom tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, the Fully Being curriculum was developed by modern meditation master Tsoknyi Rinpoche, known for being playful, practical and profound. Based on a unique vision of what a healthy human being looks like, Fully Being is authentic yet refreshingly accessible.

Over the course of this weekend, Adam will guide participants through meditation practice, experiential exercises and discussion. You will be invited to reconnect with the ‘four natural homes’ of a healthy human being:

  • grounded energy—the home of the body
  • essence love—the home of the feeling world
  • natural clarity—the home of the mind
  • the mere I—the home of the healthy sense of self

What to Expect

In this retreat you can expect:

  • experiential and interactive learning
  • clear, concise presentations of the Fully Being path
  • many short, practical guided meditations
  • time for questions and group discussions
  • time in nature to develop your own experience

Why Attend This Retreat?

This retreat is for newcomers and experienced meditators alike. Newcomers will receive an introduction to a comprehensive and embodied spiritual path, while experienced meditators will deepen their practice of embodiment, awareness and insight. Practices like vase breathing and handshake practice will guide to drop unnecessary tension and over-thinking. These practices will allow you rediscover essence love (the basic “Okay”-ness at the heart of the feeling world), recognize natural clarity, and explore the “mere I”–a playful, functional, and healthy sense of self.
