SUMMARY:Beyond Mindfulness Drop-in Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Join this online meditation or\, if you are based in Copenhagen\, drop-in to join us in person. No need to attend all sessions\, so you can join anytime! \n\n\n\nFind deeper peace in challenging times\, discover meaning in uncertainty\, and address anxiety by relying on kindness. \n\n\n\nIn this online meditation course\, we will bring the wisdom of The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva into our own lives and relationships. Through this series\, gain practical tools to awaken bodhichitta in daily life. Also\, discover meditations to deepen your experience of emptiness. \n\n\n\nThe 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva\, one of the most revered texts in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition\, was written by the tenth century Tibetan master Tokme Zongpo. Its inspiring verses convey the entire Mahayana path of compassion. It describes the practices and attitudes of the awakening rebel who wants to heal\, grow up\, and wake up for the benefit of all. \n\n\n\nRelating to traditional Buddhist practices and texts authentically can be difficult for us in the West. The texts are incredibly powerful but come from a different cultural context. Therefore\, it’s challenging to move beyond intellectual understanding and perfunctory repetition.  \n\n\n\nIn this drop-in course\, move towards allowing these texts to touch your heart and transform your life as they are meant to. The teachings are suitable for beginners and experienced students. \n\n\n\nMeditation Teacher\n\n\n\nFormer Buddhist monk and psychotherapist Stephan Pende will share from his experience of 30 years practicing in different Buddhist traditions. He has been the resident teacher for FPMT’s Center for Wisdom and Compassion in Copenhagen for many years and currently teaches meditation in Buddhist Centers around Europe. \n\n\n\nTickets are available for online attendance\, but no need to book if you plan to attend the session in person. \n\n\n\nTime: 7-9pm (CET)Price: 100 DK\, 80 DK for students and unemployed \n\n\n\nLocation: Nørregade 7A\, 2 sal. TV\, 1165 København\, Denmark \n\n\n\nTickets: https://www.fpmt.dk/courses

SUMMARY:Summer Retreat Close to Malmö
DESCRIPTION:During this retreat we will explore Buddhist methods to open your heart and connect with the source of wisdom in you. \n\n\n\nStephan Pende will introduce you to a variety of meditation techniques from the Tibetan Tradition to support the development of Self-Compassion and based on that compassion for others. \n\n\n\nThese meditations can be used by everyone independent of your belief and background. The emphasis will be on cultivating a kind and open awareness\, to discover a way of effortless being without pressure. \n\n\n\nWhen you look deeply into your heart you recognize that the very nature of consciousness itself is a wellspring of loving-kindness. \n\n\n\nIt is said that the very quality of the deepest level of your mind is that of inexhaustible love\, and it is already there. In other words\, you don’t need to get it from anybody else: not from a religion\, not from a teacher. It is there already\, but it does get obscured. \n\n\n\nSo\, if this is a birthright\, a capacity you bring to life\, then instead of emphasizing how to cultivate this wonderful quality of mind\, you can shift your mindset to ask how to stop doing what you are doing to obscure it. \n\n\n\nStephan Pende Wormland has studied and practiced meditation in multiple traditions for over 30 years. He was a monk in the Tibetan tradition for 11 years. \n\n\n\nAt Hallaskog\, the participants will be accommodated in multi-bed rooms or double rooms. There is a large assembly hall for teaching and meditation\, showers and toilets\, a kitchen and dining area. The retreat place is located in a beautiful beech forest by Dagstorpsjön\, 9 km north of Höör. In the schedule there will be space for personal time. There are nice hiking trails in the forest and you are free to go canoeing on the lake. Canoes and life jackets are available to borrow. \n\n\n\nFrom Malmö\, it takes just under an hour to drive. Please let us know when registering if you need a ride\, or can offer a seat in your car. Pick-up from Höör train station can also be arranged. \n\n\n\nAll participants help with cooking\, washing dishes and cleaning. The food will be vegan. Please state when registering if you have any food allergies\, unfortunately we cannot take other types of diets into account. \n\n\n\nThe retreat is open to both beginners and more experienced practitioners of meditation. \n\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Hallaskog at Dagstorpsjön outside Höör.\n\n\n\nTime: Friday 2/6 at 17:00 – Tuesday 6/6 at 14:00\n\n\n\nFee: SEK 3\,600 for members\, SEK 3\,800 for non-members.\n\n\n\nRegistration: Email john.w.lundquist@gmail.com and pay a registration fee of SEK 1\,000. The remaining sum is paid no later than April 30.\n\n\n\nPayment is made via Swish to John Lundquist\, 0768-164 230\, or PayPal to john.w.lundquist@gmail.com enter Retreat your name + telephone number.

SUMMARY:Classes in New York – In-Person and online
DESCRIPTION:Classes with Stephan Pende\n\n\n\nBodhicitta: An Open Heart\n\n\n\nTue Mar 21\, 7–9pm EDT IN-PERSON & ONLINE\n\n\n\nAt our deepest level is pure\, unconditional love and compassion. This is the open heart that naturally and spontaneously embraces all beings. Yet our own wounds and insecurities often prevent us from genuinely opening our hearts to others\, let alone to ourselves. In this evening session of guided meditation\, teaching\, and open inquiry\, Stephan will help us break through our sense of unworthiness\, so that we can connect with our Buddha nature and the wellspring of loving kindness that is the core of our being. He will also help us gently and unconditionally expand our hearts out to others and help us embrace our interconnectedness. \n\n\n\nEmptiness: The Radiant Mind\n\n\n\nThu Mar 23\, 7–9pm EDT IN-PERSON & ONLINE\n\n\n\nAt the root of our struggles is a distorted and limited perception we have of ourselves and the world around us. Though it’s not obvious\, our minds are constantly constructing our realities. We typically construct a limited and inaccurate depiction of ourselves – the ego\, and then spend our whole lives in vain trying to protect and satisfy it. As a result\, we experience loneliness\, dissatisfaction\, frustration and other difficult emotions – with an inability to find the genuine happiness we seek. In this evening session\, Stephan will help us recognize these self-sabotaging patterns and glimpse beyond our limited views to experience the radiant vitality beyond everyday appearances \n\n\n\nCOVID-19 Policy\n\n\n\nTo review the policy please click here. For questions\, please email registration@shantidevanyc.org. \n\n\n\nImportant Note\n\n\n\nThis is an in-person and online event. For in-person\, you are required to have full vaccination. Please review our Covid-19 policy for details. For online\, the events will be administered using Zoom*. \n\n\n\nAfter registering\, the system automatically sends a confirmation and/or a receipt email that contains the Zoom meeting link and/or other instructions. If you don’t immediately receive the system email(s) or you have any other questions\, please contact us at registration@shantidevanyc.org. \n\n\n\n*Zoom is an interactive video-conferencing tool that allows participants to see one another and ask questions. You will need a computer\, a tablet or a smartphone with the Zoom application to attend.
