Awakening the Heart - Away Retreat at Lone Oak Ranch

Awakening the Heart - Away Retreat at Lone Oak Ranch

Enjoy a peaceful weekend retreat at Lone Oak Ranch in Gainesville, Texas, just a little over an hour north of Dallas. Gen Menla will be giving talks and guided meditations that draw upon one of the most special practices within Buddhism, called “equalizing and exchanging self with others.” This practice offers key insights that can unlock the door to deep personal peace and help us become a brighter light in the world.
