Chakrasamvara Intensive

Greg Smith

November 12–20, 2021

This program ends formally in the evening prior to the last day. The final day, November 20th, is a departure day only.

Tuition $80 + 8 nights

Lodging prices for this retreat have been reduced by between 8% and 15%, depending on lodge room type, to make it easier for long-time practitioners to practice at SMC.

This Chakrasamvara Intensive is geared toward the accumulation of the recitation practices in a group setting. Those who have finished the recitation are also invited to come and deepen their connection with the practice. If you are just learning the practice, this is a good opportunity to become more familiar with the sadhana. There will be guided practice, instruction on the practice of the different sections, and group study and discussion of the wonderful manual by the Vajravairochana Translation Committee and the tris.

This profound practice intensive will be held within the physical representation of Chakrasamvara’s mandala in the Great Stupa of Dharmakaya.  You are welcome to come for all or part of this intensive.

Prerequisite: Chakrasamvara Abhisheka

Please review and understand SMC’s current COVID-19 policy before visiting SMC.
