SUMMARY:Radiant Soma: Parts I and II
DESCRIPTION: \n  \n\n  \nThe first retreat runs June 12 - 18 \nThe second retreat runs June 20 - 27  (Part II is full.)  \n\nWhen we sit in meditation\, let go of tension\, relax our habitual patterns of thought\, open our hearts to the world just as it is\, and settle into the full depth of our somatic awareness\, a natural radiance shines forth: the light of our basic goodness and inherent wisdom. \nRadiant Soma is a two-part meditation program that will allow practitioners of all levels of experience to explore the view and practices of the Dharma Ocean lineage\, and\, in doing so\, deepen their relationship with the luminosity and boundless space of their own true nature. \nThe first retreat is open to the public; the second retreat has some prerequisites. The first retreat\, however\, is not required in order to attend the second one. \nBoth programs will be held at the Lebensgut Retreat Centre in the beautiful countryside of Saxony\, Germany\, and will be taught by Dr. Reggie Ray and Caroline Pfohl\, Dharma Ocean’s lineage holders. \n\n \n \nPart I Registration \n \nLocation\nLebensGut Pommritz\nPommritz 1\n02627 Hochkirch\nGermany \n \nCoordinator \nradiantsoma@dharmaocean.org \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe 1st Retreat: Radiant Soma\, Part I\nThe first program\, known as Radiant Soma – Part I: Meditation for Awakening the Body\, runs from June 12 to June 18\, and is open to practitioners of all levels. Meditation for Awakening the Body will be a deep immersion in the bodywork and pure awareness practices of the Dharma Ocean lineage. \nThere are no prerequisites for participating in this program\, although some experience with Dharma Ocean’s foundational somatic meditation practices (i.e.\, 10-Points Practice\, Earth Descent\, Yin Breathing\, etc.) would be helpful.  \nThe two Radiant Soma programs being offered this June are individual\, stand-alone retreats. Attendance at the first retreat is not a prerequisite for attending the second retreat. However\, both programs may be taken together to form one long retreat. See below (“About the Programs”) for more details. \n\nThe 2nd Retreat: Radiant Soma\, Part II\nPart II is full.  \nThe second program\, known as Radiant Soma – Part II: Meditation for Opening the Heart\, runs from June 20 to 27\, and will focus on exploring\, in some depth\, the somatic bodhicitta practices of the lineage. As such\, it is intended for practitioners who already have a degree of familiarity with the first three stages\, or yanas\, of Dharma Ocean’s training path (i.e.\, the Ground Yana\, the Meditation Yana\, and the Yana of Love and Compassion). \nSpecifically\, we ask that those attending Meditation for Opening the Heart meet the following criteria\, as far as possible: \n\nHave attended at least one residential Dharma Ocean program anywhere in the world\nHave completed the Awakening the Body online program\nHave completed The Somatic Practice of Pure Awareness online program\n\n\n\nRadiant Soma Part II Survey\nPart II is full. The survey is closed.  \n\n\nAbout the Programs\nAs mentioned above\, the two Radiant Soma programs being offered this June are individual\, stand-alone retreats. \nAttendance at Radiant Soma – Part I: Meditation for Awakening the Body (June 12 to 18) is not a prerequisite for attending Radiant Soma – Part II: Meditation for Awakening the Heart (June 20 to 27). \nHowever\, we believe that doing the two programs back-to-back would constitute a powerful meditative journey\, and are encouraging anyone who can attend both programs to do so. \n(Please note that those who register for both program may stay at the venue between the close of the first retreat and the start of the second. The plan is that these interim days will be devoted to silence and personal practice. Those who are attending the first retreat only will be required to leave the venue on June 18\, and those attending the second retreat only are invited to arrive after 2 p.m. on June 20.) \n\nRetreat Costs:\nPlease see the registration link in the upper\, right corner of this page for costs. \n\nRetreat Dates:\nRadiant Soma\, Part I: June 12 – 18\nRadiant Soma\, Part II: June 20 – 27 (Part II is full.)   \n\nAbout the Teachers\nDr. Reginald “Reggie” Ray draws on four decades of study and intensive meditation practice within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition to address the unique problems\, inspirations\, and spiritual imperatives of modern people. He is the founder and Spiritual Director of the Dharma Ocean Foundation\, a non-profit educational organization dedicated to the practice\, study\, and preservation of the teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and the practice lineage he embodied. Read full biography. \n  \nCaroline Pfohl is the lineage successor of the Dharma Ocean lineage.
