Zeena's next Workshop in Berlin is Sunday, June 28, 2015 .
This is the last workshop in this series before a Summer break. 1:00PM – 4:30PM 50 Euros per workshop Seating is limited - preregistration is necessary. Deadline to register is June 26, 2015 The Next Workshop Theme is: Part 2 of Sleep and Dream Yoga *To pre-register for the April 26 workshop use the PayPal drop-down menu below, choose “Workshop1-Teaching w/ Practice 50 Euro”.
Description:
The workshop opens with traditional group Vajrayana prostrations, recitation of the short Refuge Prayer and short Vajradhara Mahamudra Lineage prayer, followed by a teaching lecture by Zeena relevant to this month's theme. There's a short break after the lecture and the workshop resumes with a mantra chanting session, utilizing both struck (audible sound vibration resulting from friction between or striking of two forms of matter) and unstruck (thought vibration/the sound of the celestial realm) mantra meditation practices. This month's mantra will be to Green Tara: Oṃ Tāre Tuttāre Ture Svāhā / Om Tare Tuttare Ture Svaha Following the mantra chanting session, participants settle into a silent seated meditation of calm-abiding and stilling of the internal monkey-chatter thoughts. Both the mantra meditation and the meditation of calm-abiding are necessary foundations for all other forms of advanced spiritual practices. When performed together with one's teacher, these meditations build an important connection to the generations of lineage holders who have transmitted the same methods to your own teacher. For this reason, meditation together with the teacher produces stronger results than only meditating alone. The workshop concludes with a Questions & Answers period.

Skype sessions are scheduled between Tuesday and Friday, 4PM-7PM Berlin time. Information on how to book a Skype or private in-person session can be found the end of the Teachings page on this site. For questions about booking personal sessions or group seminars, write to [email protected].

The Next Workshop is April 26, 2015
Workshop Theme: Death and Impermanence. 1:00PM – 4:30PM 50 Euros per workshop Pre-registration deadline April 23, 2015
"Think of the people in professions who work with death and the dying, including people who kill for a living such as veterinarians who euthanize pets; soldiers; slaughter house employees who prepare animals for mass consumption; executioners in countries that have not abolished the death penalty; insect exterminators; abortionists, etc. This is not a moral judgment but a prayer to those on both sides who suffer the non-virtuous karma of the act and those who are killed. Think of all the different situations where death is surely occurring as you are in seated meditation while conducting your daily prayers. Spend at least a moment each day to contemplate your own death and remember that this life is not solid nor is tomorrow guaranteed. Do not take for granted that you or your loved ones will still be alive tomorrow." --Zeena Schreck
