The Mandala of the Five Wisdom Dakinis
With Lopön Ellen Booth Church
October 4 - 8, 2018
This unique retreat offers a journey into the Mandala of the Five Dakinis, developed by Lama Tsultrim Allione, to bring emotional transformation onto the spiritual path. The mandala creates a sacred geography within the psyche, proven to be healing by Western scientific studies, and leads toward the realization of the innate perfection of the world.
Using the mandala as a blueprint of wholeness, we will explore its basic structure — a center and four directions — represented by the five “families,” with their correlating elements, colors, seed syllables, emotions, psychological types and, most importantly, wisdoms.
The mandala works with energy to express the inherent luminosity within each of us and uses sacred embodiment as a path to liberation. In this retreat, you will be guided through an exploration of the enlightened feminine and the five manifestations of wisdom through meditation, sound, personal inquiry, and guided exercises. In addition, participants will learn how to do the practice of the Mandala of the Five Dakinis.
This experiential retreat begins with an introduction to five families followed by the transmission of Mandala of the Five Dakini Mandala practice. You will then be invited to focus on each of the five families to explore your encumbered emotional patterns and how to transform them into the wisdom of the corresponding family. The retreat will include:
– Transmission of the Five Dakini Mandala practice
– In-depth examination of the Dakini principle
– Guided journey with the Dakini
– Regression looking at the emotion of each family
– Integration with the elements
– Using the mandala as a road map for transformation
Suggested Dana: $150 – $200
