SUMMARY:Embracing Life with Openness\, Courage and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Embracing Life with Openness\, Courage and Compassion: A Buddhist Approach to Engagement in Society  \nWith Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche\nAccording to Buddhist teachings\, the inherent nature of all sentient beings is fundamentally good\, although temporarily veiled by fear\, doubt and mistrust. Embracing our insecurities with openness and loving-kindness\, developing trust in our basic goodness and allowing the gentleness of our humanity to emerge could well be the cornerstone of the inner path that leads to a more compassionate engagement with society. \nRinpoche will give practical advice and guided meditations on techniques that allow us to open up to our basic goodness\, hence laying the foundation to engage in the world with openness\, courage and compassion. \n

SUMMARY:Shiné Weekend: The Practice of Calm Abiding
DESCRIPTION:Amrit Wagner will lead an in depth exploration of the Shiné meditation practice. Shiné is also known as Shamatha meditation. \nBy using the breath as a guide\, the external and internal distractions are pacified\, so that the thoughts and emotional turmoil of the mind are brought to rest (SHI = pacify)\, and thus one returns to one’s internal center and abides there (NE = remain). Learn how a calmer\, more relaxed and more spacious mind makes dealing with one’s self and with others easier and more enjoyable. We will do sitting practice\, and between sessions\, to support us – some movement (for body awareness)\, as well as listen to music\, and share wisdom stories. Included is a round of interpersonal exchange\, which brings us knowledge about ourselves\, and shows us how our mind works. \nClick here to Register! \nExperienced meditators and newcomers are equally welcome! \nTeacher: Amrit Wagner is an authorized meditation teacher under the guidance of the spiritual head of the RIC\, Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche.

SUMMARY:YOGOM Program - Yoga and Meditation with François Bertolero
DESCRIPTION:YOGOM without intermediaries connects the body and mind. In this yoga practice the body postures are both the source and the basis of meditation. Physical exercises are gradually adapted to each individual’s abilities. The postures enable one to find a stable and comfortable seat. Rhythmic breathing exercises enhance base line lung capacity without dispersion and also provide energy. Through this continuity of breath and posture the body and mind arise and create the space for calm and clear presence. \nLet YOGOM practice flourish within\, so that one can find the time to know and release negative tendencies\, to meet one’s nature\, to enhance the positive aspects that enable us to act in a better way\, and thus contribute to our well being\, our health. A practice that is open to everyone. \nFrançois Bertolero is student of Dungsey Gyetrul Jigme Rinpoche and Yoga teacher graduate FFYYOG_FB_web \nFor a description of YOGOM\, please click here. \nPractical information: info@ripa-international.com \nFor meals and lodging on site\, contact the Landguet Ried: office@landguet.ch\nwww.landguet.ch
