Releasing the Knot of the Mind

A Meditation Retreat with Anam Thubten

Nov 13-15

In Person

Our human mind can easily become entangled in its own creations—concepts, beliefs, and emotional patterns. When this happens, the mind contracts, as if bound by a tight internal knot. This knot generates unnecessary suffering and obscures mind’s true nature. Yet within the mind lies the ability to unwind this knot and reveal its original, spacious nature—one that is intrinsically free, awake, and compassionate.

The Nyingma teachings of Tibetan Buddhism offer profound methods for experiencing the self liberation of mind in the realm of now. In this retreat, Anam Thubten will offer teachings and guided meditations based on the teachings of Dzogchen masters such as Dudjom Lingpa.

This retreat will draw on teachings from Anam Thubten’s new book, Releasing the Knot of the Mind: Instructions on Resting in Stillness and Awareness, available from Shambhala Publications.

The retreat will be held at the Triple Tree Owner Center on 58 Triple Tree Rd, Bozeman, on Saturday Nov 14 and Sunday Nov 15 from 10-5 each day. To honor the sacred container of this retreat, everyone is asked to attend the entire retreat, concluding Sunday at 5 pm.

There will be a separate public talk on Friday, Nov 13 at Pilgrim Congregational Church at 2118 S. 3rd Ave in Bozeman. Cost is a suggested donation of $20. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. There will be plenty of seating. Do not bring a cushion for the Friday night talk but bring cushions (if you have them) to the retreat on Saturday and Sunday.
