The Sacred Path: Golden Key
Deepen your meditation practice, and continue along the path of the Shambhala teachings on warriorship during this weekend retreat.
The key to wealth, or the golden key, is appreciating that you can be poor – or should I say, unmoneyed – and still feel good because you have a sense of wealthiness in any case, already. That is the wonderful key to richness and the first step in ruling: appreciating that wealth and richness come from being a basically decent human being
–Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
The Sacred Path series of Shambhala Training Levels introduces further warriorship practices, which expand on the meditation training explored in the Heart of Warriorship Shambhala Training Levels. The practices and teachings that are presented during Sacred Path are based on societal vision and the aspiration to help the world and includes the following weekend trainings and retreats: Great Eastern Sun, Windhorse, Drala, Meek, Perky, Outrageous, Inscrutable, and GoldenKey
Golden Key explores a Shambhala text that works with our relationship to the “material world” and our sense perceptions. It teaches the practice of enriching presence – the ability to access the inner wealth within oneself and the natural world.
