Chöd: From Chögyal Namkhai Norbu
With Dorje Lopön Chandra Easton and Lopön Karla Jackson-Brewer, M.S.
May 16 - 20, 2018
Chöd is a unique blend of the Tibetan Shamanic traditions and the Buddhist tradition of compassion and emptiness. This centuries-old practice is sung and is accompanied by the use of a traditional Chöd drum and bell. Healing comes when fear, fixation and self-clinging are cut through, when we nurture and don’t fight what assails us. This gives rise to the awareness of the empty nature of afflictive emotions.
Required materials: The Chöd practice requires a Chöd drum and bell, both of which are available through our store, online at http://dakinibookstore.mybigcommerce.com/. Also recommended is a headlamp or small book-light for night practice.
This is a required retreat for the Magyu Mother Lineage Program.
This retreat is open to all.
Suggested Dana: $150-$200
