"Bhāvanā," the practice of mental cultivation, is the gentle deepening of true mindfulness, commonly known as meditation. It is a path of nurturing inner peace, clarity, and understanding.
At Triple Gem of the North, we offer meditation classes open to everyone, regardless of background or experience. Meditation is a universal practice—simple, accessible, and deeply transformative.
Through meditation, we turn inward with awareness and kindness. We begin to understand the inner workings of the mind and see clearly how thoughts and emotions shape our perceptions and experiences.
With steady practice, this insight brings greater calm, wisdom, and compassion into our daily lives.
We offer meditation and mindfulness retreats designed to support deep inner growth and understanding. Our programs include overnight weekend retreats, day retreats, and personalized retreats tailored to individual needs. Rooted in original Buddhist teachings, these retreats focus on the authentic practice of meditation and mindful living. We offer a variety of Vipassanā retreats, providing opportunities to cultivate insight, clarity, and inner peace. Throughout the year, our retreats are guided by both resident and visiting teachers, each bringing wisdom and experience to support your journey. Whether you are new or experienced, our retreats welcome you to explore mindfulness in a peaceful, supportive environment.
We offer a variety of workshops and training programs designed to deepen understanding and support personal growth on the path of mindfulness. Our offerings include Buddhist certification courses, Abhidhamma workshops, and mindfulness-based workshops suitable for all levels. These programs are rooted in authentic teachings and provide both practical guidance and theoretical insight into the nature of the mind and experience. Whether you are beginning your journey or seeking to deepen your practice, our workshops create a supportive environment for learning, reflection, and transformation. Through these trainings, participants develop wisdom, clarity, and compassion in daily life and spiritual practice.
We offer yoga classes and sessions open to all. Yoga is a meaningful way to practice mindfulness while supporting the healing and well-being of the body. Rooted in ancient Indian traditions, yoga brings together physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines that cultivate balance, strength, and inner calm. Our classes are suitable for everyone, including beginners, and are offered on a weekly basis as well as during our retreats. A limited number of mats are available, though you are welcome to bring your own. Join us to experience gentle movement, mindful awareness, and a deeper connection to body and mind.
