About the Retreat

This program is an opportunity to explore, practice and experience the meditation-in-action practices of the Dorje Kasung. You’ll learn how to manifest these in our world now as Bodhisattva Warriors, for the benefit of others, wherever we engage. 

We will all live, practice, and work together at the Magyel Pomra Encampment grounds. Your days will include caring for our camp, cooking shared meals, and taking care of each other. Extending our practice to others, this year’s Drala Gar will have the opportunity to serve DMC’s Midsummer Day celebrations,the 3 Yanas Program. There will be opportunities to deepen your training in the Non-Commissioned Officer and leadership paths.

Who is This Retreat For?

This program is open to all who are inspired to explore Dorje Kasung practice, Dharma and service, the curious practitioner new or old, Suncamp veterans, and Dorje Kasung of all seasons.

While it is ideal to participate in the entire program, partial participation can be accommodated. 

The practice of Gar is an MPE style practice environment, with a more open container, that accommodates us extending ourselves to serving outside of the container.

What Will Participants Get Out of This Retreat?

This retreat is for anyone inspired to experience the heart teachings of protector practice transmitted to us by the Dorje Dradul. Protector practice is how we show up in our life to be of service to others by first taking care of our own state of mind, and then by extending ourselves outward to be of service to others. The Dorje Kasung teachings are a path of maintaining sanity in the midst of chaos, bringing a sense of humor to situations that would normally destabilize us, and bringing dignity into our everyday experience. The Encampment practices are a means to experience the playful dignity of dharma protectorship in a living mandala so that the view, practice, and activity of Kasungship can become second nature.
