Summer Ngöndro Retreat: Registration for Discounted Tent Double Accommodations

The foundational ngöndro practices help us differentiate between samsara and nirvana.

The Shambhala ngöndro is meant to be accomplished in a group practice environment to galvanize those warriors and foster friendship, camaraderie, and celebration, thus mixing practice with life. This increases personal windhorse and invigorates the windhorse of the group, giving power and potency to the vision of Shambhala. The schedule for this retreat will include six to eight hours of daily practice in addition to time for study, talks, and celebration. This retreat is an excellent opportunity for Shambhala Vajrayana Seminary graduates to deepen their understanding and establish their practice with the support of experienced ngöndro practitioners. Rigden (Shambhala), Kagyü, and Nyingma ngöndro practitioners are all warmly invited to join us for this special summer program.
