Finding Insight and the Peace Within
A Weekend Vipassana and Compassion Retreat for Challenging Times
In a time of uncertainty and constant noise, many people are longing for clarity, compassion, and inner peace. This retreat offers a rare opportunity to step away from daily pressures and reconnect with the calm and wisdom within.
Held largely in noble silence, the retreat will include seated and walking Vipassana meditation, Tonglen compassion practice, and gentle Qi Gong sessions with Master Winnie to support both body and mind. Participants will also have the opportunity to observe the Eight Precepts, creating simple conditions that help deepen meditation and inner stillness.
Khenpo Tshering Chophel will offer daily teachings and guided reflections to support the cultivation of mindfulness, compassion, and insight—helping practitioners meet both personal challenges and the difficulties of our world with a steady mind and an open heart.
The retreat will be held at Triple Crane Retreat Center in Chelsea, Michigan, from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening.
Open to both experienced meditators and sincere beginners, these three days offer a powerful chance to slow down, settle the mind, and rediscover the peace that comes from seeing clearly.
