What is Awakening? Four Practices Rooted in Tradition and Confirmed by Neuroscience

 
White Heron Sangha welcomes you to a two-day, Online Only, retreat with Tina Rasmussen. 

“What is awakening?” Awakening is often the inspiration for many on the spiritual journey, but how it happens, what we could encounter and what it is may be unclear. Tina will provide an overview of how awakening is understood across wisdom traditions, how spiritual experience is integrated into everyday life and clarify misconceptions (as well as why scandals happen).

Tina will teach four meditation practices, rooted in tradition and confirmed by neuroscience. There will be time devoted to learn each practice. This will allow you to experience the meditation’s purpose, how it affects your consciousness, and how it supports awakening in unique and important ways. This experience may help you make wise use of precious time spent in daily practice or retreat, and to better understand the overall trajectory of your spiritual unfoldment.

This retreat is suitable for all levels. It will be held mostly in silence, but with many Q&A periods.  
 
Participants will also be guided in tuning into their own “flame for awakening.”

Tina Rasmussen, Ph.D., began meditating at age 13, and has practiced in the Theravada and Tibetan Buddhist traditions for 30+ years. In 2003, she completed a year-long solo retreat, and was later ordained as a Buddhist nun and was the first Western woman authorized to teach by renowned meditation master Pa Auk Sayadaw. Tina has been studied by Yale Neuroscience Lab, and is the co-author of Practicing the Jhanas, as well as several books on human potential. She has been featured on Buddha at the Gas Pump, Deconstructing Yourself, and many other programs. Tina works with students worldwide.
