By exploring the depths of perception, one can engage the elemental and magical strength inherent in the world all around us, of which we are part.

The magnificent teachings in the Shambhala root text The Letter of the Golden Key Which Fulfills Desire, present the warrior’s view, practice and approach to working with the potent topics of richness and desire—so vitally important in this materialistic world.

During this extended weekend, we will study the text, learn the practice of Enriching Presence, and open to the realms of our sense perceptions. Beloved senior teacher Judith Simmer-Brown  will guide us through talks, practices, discussions, and various creative exercises to a direct experience of the tangible and intangible richness within ourselves, within society and the natural world.
