4 Day Teaching & Practice Retreat on Phowa

SAT APRIL 25th - TUES APRIL 28th (See more detailed Schedule Below)

Join us for a rare and powerful weekend retreat on Phowa, the profound Drikung Kagyu practice of the transference of consciousness, taught by Drupon Thinley Ningpo Rinpoche. This retreat focuses on the traditional Drikung sadhana “Inserting the Stalk of Wild Grass”, a practice renowned for its directness, clarity, and effectiveness.

A NOTE ABOUT SUGGESTED RATES AND DONATION-BASED REGISTRATION

We warmly invite you to give as generously as you are able. Hosting these events involves significant costs — texts, logistics, and offerings for our lamas and translators — as well as the ongoing expenses of maintaining the center and sustaining its programs throughout the year.
