Saturday Retreat: The Power of Imagination to Transform Your Life

  • Kadampa Meditation Center Maryland (map)

The mind is full of creative power. In fact, each day our mind creates a multitude of realities, emotions, and experiences.  Sometimes these bring a sense of joy and freedom however, they often can be limiting and disruptive or even painful. 

Through a special type of meditation called Creative Yoga we can learn to see beyond the limitations of our ordinary thinking into the extraordinary possibilities for our life.

This retreat will teach how to use visualization and imagination to awaken and channel our creative energy into greater peace and happiness, and eventually to the perfection of our human qualities.
