Weekend Away Meditation Retreats
 1) Improving Our Relationships - Weekend Meditation Retreat at Hidden Villa in the Los Altos Hills with Tessa Logan - May 14-16, 2010
Hidden Villa Retreat Center
26870 Moody Road
Los Altos Hills, CA 94022
About the Retreat:
We may understand the healing power of love, but what holds us back from expressing it fully? During this guided retreat, we will learn to trust the mind of love, and begin a lifelong process of opening our heart that will carry us from joy to joy.
With love, our heart softens towards those around us and we come to appreciate their kindness and good qualities. By developing our capacity to love others, our relationships will become harmonious, our lives will become more peaceful, and we will develop the ability to bring happiness to ourself and others.
The retreat schedule will allow lots of time for quiet relaxation and community, enjoying delicious meals, and exploring the beautiful countryside in the Los Altos Hills.

2) Universal Compassion (Lojong) Weekend Meditation Retreat in the Los Altos Hills with Tessa Logan - September 3-6
Hidden Villa Retreat Center
26870 Moody Road
Los Altos Hills, CA 94022
About the Retreat:
The heart of Buddhist practice is to develop pure, unconditional love and compassion for all living beings. Buddha's Lojong ("Training the Mind") teachings show us how to do exactly this. These practical and inspiring instructions reveal how to solve both our own and others' daily problems. They show us how to transform all of life's situations - both the joyous and the most challenging - into the spiritual path. During this retreat, Tessa will review the commentary given by Gen-la Khyenrab to Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso at the 2010 Summer Festival in England. The opportunity to practise these rare and precious teachings is not to be missed.
The retreat schedule will allow lots of time for enjoying each other's company, eating delicious food, and walking in the beautiful countryside in the Los Altos Hills.
