What Are You Doing This Summer?
Posted: April 2nd, 2012 | Author: Ethan | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »Happy April. I just wanted to pass along news of all the summer meditation retreats I’ll be leading or assisting with, including one with my own teacher, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche in Vermont at the end of May; IDP’s first ever weeklong retreat in Massachusetts in June, and a retreat in Colorado with my friend, teacher, and mentor Dr. Gaylon Ferguson, Acharya in August. Whatever happens, I hope we all make some time to deepen our practice this summer.
Also, I’m happy to announce my first ever video livecast talk and discussion on Thursday May 10. It’s a free event (details below), and I hope to do it about every six weeks in the future.
Please see what’s new below, and let me know how you are doing!
All best wishes for an awesome Spring,
Ethan Nichtern
