Open to practitioners who have completed Vajrayogini sadhana practice, this advanced Vajrayana practice retreat is a powerful experience for both first-timers and repeaters. The retreat will be held in our spacious Red Feather Lodge which was recently renovated specifically for fire puja practice. You are warmly invited to join us as we bask in the blissful fire of the Glorious Co-Emergent Mother Vajrayogini!

Prerequisite: Completion of Vajrayogini sadhana practice.

Currently a student of both Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche and Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche, Marybeth has led over a dozen Vajrayogini Amending the Mantra and Four Karmas Fire Pujas at Shambhala Mountain Center over last twenty years.

Our intent is to encourage and support intensive practice opportunities for Shambhala community members. Therefore we are making this program available to all qualified Vajrayogini practitioners by offering it under Shambhala Mountain's generosity policy. The policy provides the opportunity for participants to pay what they can afford by selecting one of three pricing options. The first option is Shambhala Mountain's regular room and board rates plus the program materials fee of $50.

For those who can not afford to pay our regular room and board rates, our second option is a flat room and board rate of $70 per night plus the materials fee. Your accommodations will be the best we have available (up to single Lodge room with shared bathroom facilities) after accommodating all participants paying our regular rates. Priority for best-available housing will be on a first-come first-served basis. We will not be able to confirm which housing you will be assigned until a few days prior to the program start date.

For those requiring substantial financial assistance, our third option is the same as the second option except the flat room and board rate is $40 per night. Again, housing is best available (up to single Lodge room with shared bathroom facilities) on a first-come first-served basis. Please understand that we are not able to provide student or senior discounts at this rate.
