A Big Heart Retreat is a unique opportunity to work closely with Genpo Roshi in a small group, including six hours a day of Big Mind and meals and informal time with him. It will allow you to focus on the specific places where you are stuck in your life, to untie knots that may be adversely affecting you for years, and to realize a deep experience of True Self, a profound state of samadhi and an unconditional faith in what is.
Big Heart Retreats are the principle means of raising funds to support Genpo Roshi’s Big Mind/Big Heart work throughout the world, and his way of giving back in gratitude and appreciation to those who are able to contribute so generously to sponsor his work. Your donations go to Big Mind, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity, and have enabled it to expand live and virtual teaching programs, provide scholarships for qualified students to participate in Big Mind/Big Heart trainings, donate books and DVDs to the Prison Dharma Network and other worthy organizations, and lower the prices of our books, DVDs, web content and live Big Mind events so that more people can benefit from Genpo Roshi’s work.
Maximum: 7 people
The retreat begins Monday May 13th at 3:00 pm, and continues Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and ends Saturday May 18th at noon. Each day includes a 3 hour lunch break to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of East Canyon Resort, 30 minutes from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Suggested Donation: $12,000 / Early-Bird (until March 13, 2013): $8,000. ![]()
