This weekend online or in-person retreat focuses on the vajrayana methodologies of wongkur empowerments and sādhana practice. These empowerment ceremonies are transmissions between Teacher and student of an archetypal state of awakening – such as Vajrasattva (emotional purification), Chenrezi (compassion), Green Tara (mother nature principles), or Medicine Buddha (healing). Often given but not so often discussed, learn how to approach wongkur. How do you use a sādhana? How do you practice the foundation work?  *Course dates changed from Feb 4-6, to Feb 18-20, 2022
