In-Person and Online: Reclaiming Our Power Through the Sacred Feminine – An Introduction to Mahayana and Tantric Teachings on Compassion and Emptiness with Megan Mook Saturday, January 9th, 2027 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET In-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor On Saturday, January 9th from 10am-1pm , join Dharma Gates and Tibetan Buddhist teacher Megan Mook for a half-day retreat in New York City, a chance to step into a space for practice, reflection, and connection among other young adult practitioners. In the Mahayana, the feminine is associated with the most comprehensive and sophisticated emptiness teachings. In this immersive NEW YEAR Half-Day Retreat for Young Adults (18-35) , come learn about the development of the sacred feminine and related emptiness teachings in the Mahayana, Tantric, and Dzogchen traditions. After situating ourselves intellectually, we’ll explore accessible compassion practices that incorporate gentle mantra and visualization to help us tap into our innate strength and wisdom in the New Year. This morning is an invitation to pause, unplug, and turn inward. Come with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to explore. No previous meditation or Buddhist experience is necessary. Dharma Gates events are offered within the practice of Dana (दान), the Sanskrit/Pali word meaning generosity or giving . Rather than operating on a fee structure, we instead ask you to engage with us in a relationship of reciprocity, giving what feels aligned with your circumstances and values. We invite you to donate in a way that reflects that. Doing so will allow us to continue creating beautiful, accessible practice opportunities for young people for years to come.
