SUMMARY:Skymind in Ytterjärna\, just outside of Stockholm\, Sweden with Charlotte Rotterdam & Pieter Oosthuizen
DESCRIPTION:This retreat is in English! \n  \nSkymind is an invitation to rest into our true nature. In the Buddhist tradition\, this nature is inseparable from the ground of being – vast\, luminous\, and compassionate\, embracing all things like a Great Mother. But how do we recognize the innate wakefulness and primordial wholeness of our true nature? How do we access the ground? “Rest\,” say the teachings\, “rest in the natural state.”  \n  \nIn this weekend retreat we’ll practice to embody this deceivingly simple and potent instruction\, guided by key teachings from the 11th-century Tibetan yogini\, Machig Labdrön\, and the non-dual Mahamudra lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. These pith instructions invite us to practice radical acceptance and reveal our capacity to meet whatever we encounter on the journey of life – however beautiful or terrible – with a vast mind and a fiercely loving open heart. \n  \nOur time together includes teachings and discussion\, contemplations to integrate our insights into daily life\, and an introduction to the Skymind open awareness meditation. \n  \nFor those with previous experience in meditation and Buddhism\, this weekend offers a joyful deepening of your path; for those new to meditation\, the weekend offers an entry to the depth and beauty of these teachings and practice. \n  \nTime: The retreat starts with check-in at 17.00 on June 26. \nRetreat ends at 13.00 on June 28. \nFriday evening includes an open lecture and a book signing of our recently released book Skymind: The Radical Path of Open Awareness / Secret Teachings from Machig Labdrön\, Tibet’s Great Wisdom Mother (Shambhala Publications\, 2026). \n  \nPricing & Accommodation: Price: 2800 SEK  (includes the retreat program only Friday to Sunday; accommodation and meals are not included). You will have the possibility to buy lunch\, dinner and breakfast on site. \nTo see the full pricing for all packages that include accommodation and all meals\, please visit our registration page. \nIf cost is a barrier\, please reach out to us. We offer flexible payment plans and sliding scale options to ensure that those who wish to practice can join us. \n  \nFriday Evening Only \nThis retreat begins with a public lecture and book signing on Friday evening. If you wish to attend only this session\, please use the registration form. \n  \nLocation:  The retreat will take place at Vidarkliniken\, a former holistic wellness center on the Ytterjärna campus. Located just 5 km from Järna and 55 km from Stockholm\, the retreat space sits at the edge of a nature park with proximity to both the forest and the sea. \nThe park offers direct access to the Ekoleden walking trail and nearby biodynamic farms. During the retreat\, participants will have ample opportunity to enjoy the Swedish summer and spend quiet time in nature. \n\nRetreat venue address: \nVidarkliniken\, 153 91 Järna. \n\nRegister here: https://pci.jotform.com/form/260593502078357 \n\nTeachers: Charlotte Rotterdam & Pieter Oosthuizen\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nPartners in life\, teaching\, and parenting\, Charlotte Rotterdam and Pieter Oosthuizendraw on decades of dedicated study and practice to share the rich teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and their application to modern life.
