In this very special retreat, we will engage in the traditional practices of making mandala offerings using a traditional mandala kit, and making heartfelt prayers to our Spiritual Guide. These two practices greatly increase the positive energy in our mind, purify our negative karma, and make our mind greatly inspired -- all of this makes it very easy for us to transform our mind and make swift spiritual progress.

This is an in-depth retreat, however all levels of students are invited to attend -- from beginners to advanced practitioners. Newcomers are especially encouraged to attend the Saturday morning introductory teaching.

Please note: whereas the Saturday sessions will be guided by the teacher, the Sunday evening sessions will not. 

Printed Materials and Ritual Items:

• We will be using traditional mandala kits and malas for this retreat, so everyone is strongly encouraged to bring their own materials. We will spend some time during the Saturday introduction learning the proper way to use a mala and to make a mandala offering using our kits.

• This retreat will be based upon the book Great Treasury of Merit, and will use the traditional prayers and meditations found in the booklet "Offering to the Spiritual Guide."

• All materials -- books and ritual items -- are available for purchase in our gift shop.
