Winter Retreat

The Expansive Sunlight of Love and Compassion

December 27–31, 2024
Onsite at Nalanda West + on Zoo

This is the 10th anniversary of Nalandbodhi’s annual Winter Retreat, and we hope you will join us onsite at Nalanda West or online via Zoom as we close out 2024, pausing our busy lives to connect with the sunlight that melts the ice of our suffering, deepen ways to relax into renewal on a daily basis, and release our frozen fixations into the infinite and always loving expanse of space. 

The topic of Nalandabodhi’s Winter Retreat 2024 is the bodhisattva path with teachings based on The Guide to the Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva, by Ngulchu Tokmé Zangpo (forward by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, translated by Christopher Stagg).
