Teaching Description
Dakinis are feminine celestial beings encompassing aspects of love, compassion, peace and the protection of the universe. These Tibetan goddesses are known as angels or sky walkers. Invoking the spirit of the Dakinis facilitates healing to initiate inner transformation to reshape mental perceptions and emotional states.

Learn how to channel powerful healing energies and use Tibetan mantras as spiritual medicine. These ancient Bon techniques help establish a mindset to help one overcome fear and obstacles with loving kindness. The teaching will cover the four loving mothers Yum Chen Sa Trik Er Sang (Mother of Compassion), Sherab Chama (Goddess of Love), Yeshe Walmo (Goddess of Protection), Si Pi Gyal Mo (Queen Protector of the Universe).

  This five-day retreat is a unique opportunity to receive transmissions from Geshe Chongtul Rinpoche.
