The Living Dharma

Seven days of silence, satsang, and surrender in the red rock country of Vancouver, BC. One of the most powerful places on earth for the kind of inner work this retreat is dedicated to.

The Living Dharma is not a retreat in the conventional sense — not a holiday, not a workshop, not a series of talks. It is a sustained, immersive encounter with the teaching, held in a container of beauty and silence that allows what is always present to become impossible to overlook.

Each day holds morning and evening transmission sessions with Maitreya, guided practice, time in the Vancouver landscape, and the deep rest of a life temporarily stripped of its usual noise. Previous participants consistently describe this retreat as a turning point — not because of what happened, but because of what was finally, unmistakably seen.

Limited to 40 participants to maintain the quality of intimacy and direct engagement with the teaching.
