Our retreat center offers retreats the month of July into the first week of August. The Nyungne fasting and purification retreat takes place over July 4th Weekend. In between Nyungne and the main retreat, one can come and dedicate oneself to service and prep for the main retreat.
During the main retreat, it is possible to attend empowerments only and join the practices in the temple in the morning and Ngondro sessions.
There are shorter Ngondro sessions that are available that last 3-4 days, covering individual foundation topics. All of these sessions must be completed in order and fully to advance to the next level (Tsa Lung).
Finally, graduates of the Ngondro and Tsa Lung classes can take 1-2 week retreat sessions as they work towards completing the full-month requirement for advancing to the next class level.
