SUMMARY:Vajrayogini Day Retreat Jan 5th-7th With Jetsuma Candace
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nJetsuma Candace will guide and provide Commentary. \n\n\n\nAll 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. \n\n\n\nRequirements: Having fulfilled the qualifications for and received Vajrayogini Empowerment from a qualified Lama in the Naro Kachö lineage. \n\n\n\nIf you are unsure please contact: gadenwest@gmail.com \n\n\n\nPlease register here at this link: \n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/vajrayogini-day-retreat-jan-5th-7th-2024-jetsunma-candace-tickets-774071086457?aff=oddtdtcreator \n\n\n\nWe hope you will join us for this precious opportunity. Additional details regarding how to connect on Zoom or in-person details will be provided upon registration. (Please make sure to read the entire registration receipt for all of the important information that you will need to connect.) \n\n\n\nSuggested donation to Gaden for the West for this Vajrayogini Retreat is $40-$80 CAD (sliding scale). \n\n\n\nQuestions and/or more information about paying through e-transfer or cheque (in Canada) please email gadenwest@gmail.com \n\n\n\nAbout Jetsunma Candace Cole: \n\n\n\nJetsunma Candace Cole was first drawn to begin Buddhist studies in the early1980’s\, while practicing as a family physician on Vancouver Island\, BC.
