This photo was taken last summer, experiencing the amazing sight of the sun dying over the Atlantic Ocean, at one of the westernmost points of Europe. The closest coast on the other side of the Atlantic would be New York... That's why the Romans called our land the end of the world.

I am getting mentally ready to experience the total solar eclipse that will happen in Galicia next August 12th. My daughter and I will be spending a whole month in my ancient homeland. There is something special about that region—echoes from a remote and primitive past that always call us to come back.

But for now, after a wonderful two-day retreat with my Buddhist community, I'm focusing on the last stretch to become a certified meditation teacher through the Buddhist Studies Institute, led by Pema Khandro Rinpoche. Our graduation is next week, right during the summer solstice. Very auspicious. 🙂‍↕️🙏

Speaking of which, if you are interested in trying a daily practice, I highly encourage you to join the online meditations offered by the Buddhist Studies Institute. 
To be precise, today’s session will be led by me, and most likely many more will follow once I am fully certified! I am honored to be part of a wonderful group of practitioners who dedicate their lives to sharing these methods, helping others find calm in the busy lives we experience today, all while maintaining a deep respect for the lineage and origins of these ancient traditions. You can easily find the schedule by searching for the institute online or in the following link https://buddhiststudiesinstitute.org/season-of-practice/

Alternatively, if you would like a private, 30-minute calming meditation session with me, I am offering them completely free of charge (though donations are always welcome). You can book a slot directly through my link in bio https://bio.site/cintiamars In English and Español, por supuesto :)
