Ani Lodro & Jennifer Tyler Collaborative 5-Day “Joy in the Doorway of WESAK” Retreat

This retreat will focus on the blessings of the WESAK doorway to guide us into our next

steps of awakening, unique for each of us. My wish is that we come together with the

aspiration to arise deeper bodhicitta (compassion) for ourselves and all sentient beings.

Can we join together in an aspiration to discover higher states of Divine Joy and Love we

may not have imagined are possible, states that give us a new understanding of what

Love is? Bowed in gratitude, I ask all those that serve the Buddha Nature, God, the One - 

to guide us into our Sacred Hearts for this special retreat.

The WESAK Festival takes place in the Himalayas every Full Moon in Taurus, when the

Buddha, the Fully Enlightened One, returns to humanity as the focus of a sacred

ceremony dedicated to meditation and prayer. In a sacred hidden valley in the Himalayan

Mountains great Masters of Wisdom, Initiates, and advanced Disciples from around the

world gather. At the exact time of WESAK, the Buddha is seen descending from the sky

and with his hand raised in blessings of enlightenment and radiating energy upon the

world, joining with the Christ and the Saints of all faiths and traditions at this time.

Wesak Day is celebrated on the Full Moon, Friday, May 5th , 2023.

Two sessions per day with Jennifer Tyler and Ani Lodro will include satsang, guided

meditation, silent sitting and Q&A.  We are very happy to have Jennifer Tyler co-lead this retreat with Ani Lodro.

Jennifer Tyler shares about her work and retreats:

Jennifer's beloved teacher, Sharon Landrith (a teacher in the lineage of Adyashanti), has

confirmed her as a teacher in the lineage. She is moved to be a guide in the remembering

and inhabiting of the essential nature, uncaused Love. Jennifer's joy is to be of service in

sacred togetherness and communion . Lending Presence and whole-heartedness to one's

unfolding evolutionary/involutionary journey through: private meetings for spiritual-

inquiry, group silent retreats, online discovery courses and evening gatherings.

I am moved towards an expression of togetherness and communion offering opportunities

to gather in Love and spiritual inquiry.

I am so grateful to be living life as a daughter, sister, mother, married partner,

grandmother, aunt, friend ....... Life is rich and full. Flower gardening, especially rose

tending, is a passion and a delight. I am so joyful when I am among the roses! My heart

is singing in the garden.

In our gathering together, we have the precious opportunity to answer the calling of our

hearts while setting aside and resting from the armor of knowingness, roles,

identifications and beliefs. Together we commit to deeply exploring into the unknown.

Beyond conceptualization, we remember our fundamental nature, our natural condition.

When we dedicate ourselves, as a group, to the turning inward of our attention, a sense

of belonging naturally arises. When we combine our shared willingness to recognize the

silent, vital, essential Lovingness that is the Ground/Source, there is the potential to

remember and live AS liberated, heart-felt Wholeness.
