(Cancelled) Vajrayogini Enriching Weekend 2022
with Mark Nowakowski
October 14 - 16, 2022
Join us at Dorje Denma Ling for a truly enriching experience.
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. Fifteen years ago, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche gave us his blessing and permission to do this practice as a “rite-of-aid” for Dorje Denma Ling, Shambhala, and the entire world, and we have been doing so twice a year: Magnetizing in the spring, and Enriching in the fall.
For Enriching, we are increasing “all of our life, merit, prosperity, intellect, confidence, and wisdom of complete liberation.”
This is your opportunity to deepen your practice and participate in the leadership roles of loppön, umdze, and chöpön.
