Join “Caring from the Heart”, an interactive online course offered by Odiyan Retreat Center Programs in Northern California. This course is based on Tarthang Tulku’s most recent book, Caring.
The Caring from the Heart Course is an experiential, dynamic journey of self-discovery, which will allow you to integrate the healing energy of the heart into your daily life, as a gift to yourself.
This course is designed to expand our ability to care from the heart about and for ourselves. This allows us to explore a broader and deeper understanding of “Caring” through guided meditation practices, Tibetan yoga exercises, interactive reflections, and open group sharing.
