Holiday Werma Retreat

Start the new year invoking the wisdom, compassion and power of the Ridgen.

As part of the Druk Sakyong's terma The Scorpion Seal of the Golden Sun, The Roar of the Werma expresses the highest level of the Shambhala teachings. Practicing this sadhana is a direct means of joining with and understanding the mind of the Sakyongs. It is with the eyes of the Rigden that we can manifest our fullest expression of what it means to be a full human being--simply, directly and immediately.

The focus of this retreat will be intensive practice. It is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the sadhana as well as draw upon the potency of practicing with other warriors. Both longtime and new practitioners of The Roar of the Werma are warmly welcomed to join us.

Our intent is to encourage and support intensive practice opportunities for Shambhala community members. Therefore we are making this program available to all qualified Werma Sadhana practitioners by offering it under Shambhala Mountain's generosity policy. The policy provides the opportunity for participants to pay what they can afford by selecting one of three pricing options. The first option is Shambhala Mountain's regular room and board rates.

The second option is a flat room and board rate of $70 per night. Your accommodations will be the best we have available after accommodating all participants paying our regular rates. Priority for best-available housing will be on a first-come first-served basis. We will not be able to confirm which housing you will be assigned until one week prior to the program start date.

The third option is the same as the second option except the flat room and board rate is $40 per night. Again, housing is best available on a first-come first-served basis. Please understand that for this rate option we are not able to provide student or senior discounts and that the number of registrations is limited.
