Lama Tsultrim will offer this celebrated and unique retreat which she developed to bring transformational personal work into the container of spiritual practice. It involves meditation practice, art, mask making, sound, and some movement. We will work with the Lion-headed Dakini Mandala with an introduction to the practice and transmission. This will be followed by dedicating time to each of the five Dakini families in order to transform obstructed, negative patterns into their corresponding wisdom energy. The closure of the retreat will involve revisiting each family and a big tantric feast. We will be honored by the presence of Miranda Shaw, PhD, author of Passionate Enlightenment and Buddhist Goddesses of India, who will be a participant in the whole retreat. She will also give her slideshow about the history of women and goddesses in the Vajrayana tradition. This retreat is deeply transformative and is not recommended for those with a history of mental instability. 

This is a required retreat for the Magyu Mother Lineage Program.
