Join David Rycroft in his drawing & painting workshop to explore how artistic activity and meditation mutually nourish each other!
This event is an invitation to explore our own creativity. In the inspiring environment of Lerab Ling and held in the warm atmosphere of mutual support, we will all have plenty of time and space to delve into the richness of our own creativity.
In this third edition, we will revisit some of the classic exercises as well as explore new harmonies between art and meditation.
With the help of art exercises, one-to-one conversations and group sharing, and with references to both Buddhist philosophy and art history, we will enrich our capacity for artistic expression.
Grounded in meditation, we see if we can bring a natural ease, presence, and sparkle into our artistic activity. And if we notice how easy it is to become awkward and self-critical, we can play with that too!
A series of art exercisesinvite us to:
Look at the world in a fresh way, unencumbered by our usual concepts
Tap into our intuition and inner powers of inspiration
Meditation sessionswill give us the opportunity to:
Change our attitude towards self-critical thoughts and comments
Find relaxation, without losing clarity
By alternating art sessions with meditation sessions, we develop our confidence in our artistic activity and bring freshness and ease to our meditation.
Each day, several art activities will take place outside, where we can be directly inspired by the wonders of the natural world. There will also be plenty of space for sharing and connecting with each other.
All materials are included. All levels of artistic and meditative experience are welcome!

We don’t have to follow our bliss, because in reality bliss follows us!
Dates:from 3 to 4 June
Every aspect of our existence is permeated by bliss. However, out of habit, we misunderstand the very essence of who we really are. We are distracted by mind’s projections instead of resting in mind’s nature. True Bliss isn’t an experience, experiences come and go. But authentic bliss is always available. This bliss (called Mahasukha in Sanskrit or Dewa Chenpo in Tibetan) transcends circumstances and conditions; it is the indestructible nature of our being.
First we need to come to see how to transform our ordinary way of relating to ourselves and our world; we can begin to See Bliss as the nature of experience. Then, rather than chasing after bliss, we can learn to Be Bliss. In other words, we can uncover the superpower we already possess: blissful awareness.
During the workshop we'll focus on learning how to experience the natural bliss that lies within. How can we profoundly accommodate, rather than struggle, against our own mind and all the turbulent thoughts and emotions that rise? Within that moment of letting go of the struggle, we discover a subtle bliss that's always been available. Through the strength of our own natural capacity for love, which in Buddhist practice we call Karuna and Metta, we can further get to know, bring forth and experience our fundamental bliss, the nature of experience. Finally, we'll conclude with learning how to bring forth joy.
With just a little practice we can access a transformative way to be with all the usual challenges that life throws at us. Whether it’s problems at work, family disagreements, or learning how to not be overwhelmed by all the trauma and drama we live through, this workshop will be of enormous benefit. On a spiritual level, this practice is essential for awakening our true nature.

Erric Solomon is an author and a Buddhist teacher. Bringing together decades of Buddhist practice, a high-powered Silicon Valley career, and an abundant sense of humor, Erric speaks with an authenticity grounded in experience. Drawing on his life in the fast-paced, always on wired world, and his study under the guidance of some of the greatest masters of our time, Erric creates a bridge between modern insight and ancient wisdom.

Afterwards, he completed a traditional three-year retreat. As a result, his understanding doesn’t come merely from intellectual knowledge, but through an authentic experience that comes from years of sincere practice. — Tsoknyi Rinpoche
Mastering the craft of writing software at a young age, he spent years as an executive in the high-pressure world of Silicon Valley. At the same time, Erric Solomon became a serious practitioner of Tibetan Meditation.

"Generally we waste our lives, distracted from our true selves, in endless activity; meditation, on the other hand, is the way to bring us back to ourselves, where we can really experience and taste our full being, beyond all habitual patterns." – The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
During this retreat, we will have the opportunity to experience the practice of meditation and feel its benefits.
In the privileged environment of Lerab Ling, we will follow the path of meditation from its basics-physical posture and right intention, meditation on an object-to the objectless, distraction-free meditation that is the goal and purpose of the practice of quiet stillness.
In particular, we will focus on a practice that combines three methods into one, the Unified Practice.
To all our cycling friends: feel free to comeand visit the temple or its esplanade. You can also simply come and have a coffee or a cool drink on our shady terrace, with a view of the valley in which the temple is located.

LES BIENFAITS DE LA MÉDITATION
Les recherches scientifiques ont montré que la méditation peut accroître la sensation de bonheur et de bien-être ainsi que notre concentration. Elle peut également nous permettre de surmonter le stress, la dépression et l’anxiété. À un niveau plus profond, la méditation est un processus qui nous aide à mieux connaître notre esprit.
LES BIENFAITS DU YOGA
Les recherches ont montré que le yoga améliore l’équilibre, la flexibilité, la force, notre relation à la douleur, l’énergie vitale, l’aspect relationnel et professionnel, ainsi que notre état de santé. Le yoga aide à déposer notre esprit et nous assouplit. La pratique de méditation et le yoga se renforcent l’un et l’autre.
LES BIENFAITS DU KUM NYE (YOGA TIBÉTAIN)
Kum Nye est une voie holistique d'équilibre et d’intégration. Des exercices de yoga doux basés sur la médecine traditionnelle tibétaine permettent de soulager le stress et favorisent la relaxation profonde, nécessaires pour profiter pleinement des bienfaits de la méditation. C'est également une aide naturelle à la guérison.

TÉMOIGNAGES
J'étudie le bouddhisme depuis de nombreuses années à travers les livres. Les enseignements, la philosophie, je dirais que l'art de vivre que j'ai trouvé à Lerab Ling sont en totale cohérence. Un pur Bonheur pour l'humanité. – Robin
C'est ma fille, qui était déjà venue, qui a voulu que je l'accompagne. Je lui ai dit d'accord mais moi je ne sais pas méditer, je vais fermer les yeux et je vais penser à tout ce qui m'attend au retour. Il y a une telle sérénité sur le site que je me suis sentie bien. Au cours des méditations, j'ai suivi ma respiration et miracle aucune pensée n'est venue la troubler. J'ai adoré le QI GONG, je fais les mouvements chez moi et je médite tous les deux jours. –Elisabeth
Un bel événement combinant de merveilleuses pratiques de méditation et une première expérience du Kum Nye et du Qi Gong qui m'a donné le goût de ces deux disciplines. Elles sont un excellent complément à la méditation ! Tout cela dans le cadre paisible et inspirant du temple de Lérab Ling. Gratitude à tous les organisateurs et animateurs pour un week-end fantastique. –Francesca
Ce lieu est magique, magnifique à peine on y met un pied on se sent déjà très serein... Une bulle d'épanouissement d'oxygène remplie de belles énergies et bienveillance. J'ai eu la grande chance de pouvoir venir pour la deuxième fois.... Et tout ce que je peux dire c'est que désormais je me sens vivante et bien plus libre... Libre d'être moi. Merci !!! –Sophie

Comment la méditation peut nous conduire à la paix naturelle
Dates : du 18 au 21 mai
"Distraits de notre être véritable, nous gaspillons d’ordinaire notre vie en occupations sans fin. La méditation, en revanche, est la voie qui nous ramène à nous-mêmes. Elle nous permet de faire l'expérience de notre être dans sa plénitude et de le savourer, au-delà de tout schéma habituel." – Le livre tibétain de la vie et de la mort
Lors de cette retraite, nous aurons l’occasion de faire l’expérience de la pratique et d’en ressentir les bienfaits.
Portés par l'environnement privilégié de Lérab Ling, nous emprunterons le chemin de la méditation depuis ses bases - la posture physique et l’intention juste, la méditation sur un objet - jusqu'à la méditation sans objet, libre de toute distraction, qui est l'objectif et le but de la pratique du repos calme.
Nous mettrons en particulier l'accent sur une pratique qui réunit trois méthodes en une, la Pratique Unifiée.
Ici, nous plaçons successivement notre attention sur un objet, le son d’un mantra et le souffle. Cette pratique, issue du cœur de la sagesse bouddhiste tibétaine, transforme les pensées, les émotions et les énergies. Nous parvenons ainsi à un état de paix et de silence spontanés, connu comme "la grande paix naturelle".
Cette pratique unifiée peut réellement accélérer le processus de la méditation et le rendre beaucoup plus profond, nous permettant ainsi d'arriver au cœur de la méditation sans trop d'efforts.
"A mesure que l'esprit se dépose, une chose extraordinaire se produit : tous les aspects fragmentés de vous-même se déposent, et vous trouvez la plénitude. Négativité et agressivité, douleur, souffrance et frustration sont bel et bien désamorcées. On fait l’expérience d’un sentiment de paix, de détente spacieuse et de liberté, et de là naît une tranquillité profonde." – La grande paix naturelle
Notre emploi du temps comprendra des sessions de pratique assise et marchée, des explications et des conseils, ainsi que des temps d'échanges et des exercices physiques. Nous nous efforcerons d’organiser des entretiens afin de faire le point sur votre pratique et votre expérience.
Cet événement est animé par Pascale Tanant et Suthari Sisowath
Pascale Tanant a rencontré Sogyal Rinpoché en 1981, à l’âge de 18 ans. Elle a suivi dès lors presque toutes ses retraites et événements en Europe. Elle a commencé à animer des groupes d’étude et de méditation en 1993, peu après la sortie du Livre Tibétain de la Vie et de la Mort de Sogyal Rinpoché. Puis elle a animé des retraites et des week-ends de 2010 à maintenant, tout en s’occupant du centre Rigpa de Nice et en faisant de la traduction orale et écrite. Elle a suivi le programme Milinda de formation des enseignants au Népal en 2017.
Étudiante de Rigpa depuis 1979, Suthari a accompli la Retraite de 3 ans à Lérab Ling, tout en menant sa carrière d’enseignante en Primaire. Elle a contribué au Centre de Paris en tant qu’instructrice de méditation et responsable de la pratique. Elle a été formée à l’animation des retraites « Dathün » dans la tradition Shambala de Chögyam Trungpa. Installée depuis peu près de Lérab Ling, son souhait le plus cher est de permettre aux enseignements de la lignée de Sogyal Rinpoché de perdurer.
Over time, every culture and spiritual tradition has been enriched with melodies, rhythms and movements to express a range of emotions and experiences.
Artists and yogis have a unique vision of our human condition and know how to express deep feelings through music and dance in order to help us free ourselves from our pains.
Beyond entertainment, music and dance can inspire and open our hearts to goodness and wisdom.
Join us for a transformative summer retreat that will help you beat the blues and explore the fundamental Buddhist teachings on suffering. As humans, we naturally try to avoid suffering in our everyday lives. However, the inevitability of suffering is an undeniable part of life, just like the changing of seasons.
Buddhism offers a unique approach to understanding and transforming our internal source of suffering. During this retreat, we will delve deeper into the Buddhist teachings to gain a greater understanding of our inner and outer struggles of life.
The retreat will be split into two parts, each lasting for five days. The first part (from 27 July to 1 August) will focus on the teachings of Buddhism and contemplation about suffering. We will explore various Buddhist tools for transforming and understanding negative tendencies, both internally and externally.
The second part (from 2 to 6 August) will be a practice-oriented retreat, where we will put the Buddhist teachings into practice and deepen our intellectual understanding through meditation. While it's not mandatory to come to both parts of the retreat, we encourage you to join us for the entire retreat to get the most out of the experience.
You can either join the full retreat, or the first part.
