Vajrayogini Day Retreat Jan 5th-7th With Jetsuma Candace
January 5 @ 3:30 pm – January 7 @ 6:00 pm
Vajrayogini Day Retreat Jan 5th-7th 2024You are invited to join the Vajrayogini Retreat on the weekend of Her most powerful day of the Year…… Vajrayogini Day, January 6th.
Jetsuma Candace will guide and provide Commentary.
All sessions will be offered both for in person (Local Sangha) and online. While it is possible to join online for any part of the retreat, or to access the recordings, the challenge for us is to “set down” the unessential demands and involvements of our lives and be fully emersed in the practice for a 48 hour silent period or as much of it as possible. The depth and power of our practice during this time is augmented even more by the scores of practitioners worldwide, who will be fully engaged along with us.
Requirements: Having fulfilled the qualifications for and received Vajrayogini Empowerment from a qualified Lama in the Naro Kachö lineage.

Since 1998 Candace has practiced under the guidance of her Root Guru Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche. Her western medical skills, together with her study of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, enabled her to assist Rinpoche with humanitarian work in Tibet and Mongolia.
