Vajrayogini Magnetizing Fire Offering
with Mark Nowakowski
June 13 - 16, 2024
Join Vajrayogini around the hearth to magnetize all good things for yourself and for Dorje Denma Ling.
Open to Vajrayogini sadhakas who have completed an Amending Fire Offering, this is a rare opportunity to engage in fire-offering practice for a weekend.
We have been doing this practice as a “rite-of-aid” for Dorje Denma Ling, Shambhala, and the entire world twice a year: Magnetizing in the spring, and Enriching in the fall.
For Magnetizing, we are attracting and gathering all good things, especially magnetizing the awake relationship between dharma teachers and students. This is a chance to deepen our practice, where everyone participates in the leadership roles of loppön, umdze, and chöpön. Please join us in this budding spring season for a powerful weekend practice.
Schedule
Arrival: Thursday afternoon set up of shrine and hearth. Dinner at 6:30pm.
Friday and Saturday Practice: 7am to 9pm
Departure: Sunday afternoon after clean-up, approximately 5:30pm.
What to Bring
- Vajrayogini Sadhana and Fire Offering liturgy insert
- Your Kagyü and Shambhala chants
- Red clothes and cushion covers if you have them. (Dorje Denma Ling has some for participant use.)
Please join us at Dorje Denma Ling for this powerful weekend practice.
