Internal Kalachakra Mandala: Introduction to the Mandala, Kalachakra Yoga, and the Subtle Body and Astrology
September 27–29, 2024
Meditation & Mindfulness, On Land Retreats, Yoga, Wellness & Embodied Living
Join us for a special weekend with Kalachakra Master Khentrul Rinpoche. Rinpoche will share teachings about how the External Kalachakra, the cosmos, relates to the Internal Kalachakra mandala, the individual’s subtle body.
Don’t miss an opportunity to connect with these rare and precious teachings.
This introductory weekend will help us understand the role of yoga asana, pranayama, astrology, and the subtle body in Kalachakra preliminary and completion stage practices.
Khentrul Rinpoche is working diligently to bring all of these practices to the world to offer us a complete yogic path to non-monastics for Kalachakra. He started by teaching the profound 6 Vajra Yogas, the completion stage of Kalachakra, in Europe. In the next year or two, he plans to teach a Kalachakra yoga asana program founded from the Jonang Tibetan Buddhist lineage that anyone can do to prepare themselves for the completion stage.
This weekend is best for people who are practitioners or would-be practitioners who are curious to learn about a wholistic tantric yogic system that can go from entry-level to enlightenment or for those who have an interest in the Kalachakra tantra.
