Sun Sep 01, 2024 to Sat Sep 21, 2024
Timezone : Europe/Paris
Rangjung Yéshé Gomdé Pyrénées, La Bastide, France
We are delighted that Drubpon Lama Tenzin Sangpo will lead a Tara Ngöndro & Inner Sadhana Retreat at Gomde Pyrénées in September 2024. This event is jointly organized with Tara's Triple Excellence.
This is a most precious opportunity for Tara practitioners of the Third Excellence, yet the retreat is open to all practitioners who wish to deepen their insight and embrace the opportunity to practice together under the guidance of such a qualified and authentic retreat master. September is a particularly beautiful time in the Pyrénées, where the green lushness of summer still lingers and the days are still pleasant, forming ideal natural conditions to support you in practice.
RETREAT SCHEDULE
September 1st - September 3rd: Whilst this retreat will focus in depth on the Ngöndro, the first three days will be dedicated to the practice and guidance on Inner Tara Sadhana. There will be four group sessions and one teaching session each day.
September 4th – September 14th: From the 4th September the focus will shift to instructions and intensive practice sessions of the Ngöndro with 5 daily sessions for 11 days. Lama Tenzin will teach one session and lead one group practice daily, and there will be three individual practice sessions. Lama Tenzin expressed that the ideal participation would be to join for the full two weeks, however there is flexibility for those who wish to join for the Ngöndro part only.
September 15th – September 21st: The third week is for those who wish to learn from Lama Tenzin how to set up your own retreat and continue to practice individually. Lama Tenzin will be available until the 18th September to give instruction, answer questions and provide individual guidance. Of course you are very welcome to stay in individual retreat beyond 21st September.
Although it is not a requirement to have received empowerments to participate in the retreat, these are vital for your practice and you are encouraged to receive them from Rinpoche whenever offered.
Registration is open, please write to us at retreatinpyrenees@gomde.fr to register or for any questions regarding the retreat organization. Should you be interested in volunteering as a retreat helper or cook, do let us know, we would welcome your support.

To allow as many practitioners as possible to take advantage of this precious opportunity, we will be converting most rooms in Gomde to double rooms. A few single rooms and huts will be available for participants who will stay for the full 21 days. There is also the option to stay off-site, e.g. in the nearby village La Bastide. During group sessions we will practice together in the shrine room. It will also be available for all participants who choose to practice their individual sessions there.
We make aspirations that you may join us for intensive and dedicated practice in September!
