Where Buddhist Dharma Meets Integral Vision What happens when ancient wisdom traditions meet cutting-edge frameworks for collective awakening? In May 2026, Catherine Sensei and Planet Dharma sangha will gather in Denver, Colorado for ICON 2026—the Integral Conference of North America. This isn't just an opportunity to attend another conference.

Seven Rays of Healing with Medicine Buddha (Online + CS & Germany Residential)
Haus Sonnentau Am Hochmoor 16, Lautertal (Odenwald), Schannenbach, GermanyThis retreat is an opportunity, for any meditator, of any level, to go deeper to the essence of healing.

In other words, it helps us learn to realize our spiritual essence. Using meditation, creative, […]
