About this Retreat

Please join us for practice of Vajrayogini in the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya. This retreat will focus on enhancing appreciation of the 5 wisdom deity nature as expressed in the Vajrayogini sadhana.

We have recorded teachings of Dorje Loppön Lodrö Dorje’s retreat in the Great Stupa last year, to guide our practice. Generously, he has also agreed to join us for part of this retreat and may offer further teachings.

In addition we are fortunate to have Jane Carpenter Cohn, a longtime teacher of Maitri Space Awareness –the 5 Buddha family practice of postures taught by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche. These postures along with environments of particular colors bring vivid personal experience of the five wisdoms, as well as their confused aspects.

This is a rare opportunity to deepen our sadhana practice.

Prerequisite: Full Vajrayogini Abhisheka corresponding exactly to the ones given by Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche.
