Ratnaprabha recently led an over-subscribed retreat at Adhisthana on Science and Buddhism. He will be releasing a series of articles on the topic which you can read on Adhisthana’s blog as well as Ratnaprabha’s personal website. If you missed the first retreat, there is another in 2024.

Online Meditation Retreat - Poetics of Awakening

The Buddha was known as the awakened one, but what does it mean to really wake up? Buddhism is clear that this awakening is more than just intellectual knowledge. More importantly it is an opening of the heart and imagination to our own deepest nature and our place in the world. During this online retreat we will be looking at how we might deepen into ourselves and open to the world through our practice of meditation and ritual.
