FAQs: Wisdom Health Retreats

What are the goals of Wisdom Health retreats?

Our retreats are designed to help leaders sharpen their awareness, purpose and strategy by aligning mind (perception & direction) and heart (meaning & connection) in order to make aligned, regenerative decisions and create fields of trust and belonging. 

During this 5-day immersion, spiritual teachers and experienced facilitators lead our participants through our Compassionate Leadership framework, which places compassion as the driving force towards realizing Conscious Leadership.

What is unique about the Compassionate Leadership retreat?

Led by Tibetan Lama and Scholar Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche, our Compassionate Leadership retreats put Dharma practices and tools at the very core of leadership training.

Our unique proposal, therefore, is to work first and foremost the Dharma of each individual through mindfulness and Buddhist practices that cultivate discernment, detachment, connection and awareness. We are bridging millenary methods with cutting-edge conscious leadership tools to help leaders realize who they really are, what they are really here for, and what all of this really is.

We believe that through awareness and meditation we can expand our perception, purpose and impact. We can refine our values, sharpen our awareness, and thus give rise to the decisions, commitments and actions that will create long-lasting, positive and life-supporting global change.

What is Dharma?

Dharma forms the basis of the path to realization and self-actualization in Buddhism and Hinduism. As understood in Tibetan Buddhism, it relates to our ability as individuals to realize an understanding of the true nature of reality, and therefore, our true potential, purpose and virtuous impact. It shows us the way through which we can cultivate a pure perception; that is, an understanding of inner and outer reality as it is.

We believe that through awareness and meditation we can expand our understanding, perception and commitments as leaders. We can refine our values, sharpen our awareness, and give rise to the decisions, commitments and actions that will create long-lasting, positive and life-supporting global change.

Who is Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche?

His Venerable Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche was born in Tibet and is a long time student of His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche. When he was seven years old he received the vows of Refuge from Garchen Rinpoche, and at the age of twelve he became ordained as a monk.
