Grand soleil oriental

This programme requires that participants have completed all 5 Shambhala Weekend Retreats.

This program encourages us to develop our connection to the Great Eastern Sun, the primordial energy and brilliance that radiates from the fabric of all phenomena.

During a series of visionary experiences that took place between 1976 et 1980, Chögyam Trungpa wrote down what became known as the Shambhala root texts, the source of all the subsequent teachings we know as the Shambhala Dharma. This treasury of teachings present a societal vision and aspiration to help the world manifest a good human society in these difficult times.

The Sacred Path programmes offer a series of weekend retreats to study these teachings, and also introduces further warriorship practices which extend the basic meditation training and cultivate one's innate dignity.

The Great Eastern Sun is the first of five weekends in the Sacred Path series. The vision of the Great Eastern Sun is the entrance into connecting with the experience of sacred world and continues the life-long journey of working to create an uplifted and sane society.
