TIME: Morning 9am-12.3opm, lunch, then 2.30pm to evening (with breaks). Sunday morning may start slightly later due to the ending of the two-week retreat early that morning. Rinpoche will continue with empowerments after the close of the two-week retreat.
COSTS: $120 for three days, or $40 per day. All prices include dorm accommodations, empowerments and instructions and all meals from Friday lunch through Sunday lunch.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Please note that because this event is concurrent with a two-week retreat, most likely there will only be dorm accommodations available. All dorms are high-ceiling, well-ventilated and are laid out with many space dividers for visual privacy. Please contact us directly if you have special needs and would like to try for a private room. Camping or day attendance is also possible.
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED and registration forms will be posted in May.
