RETREAT—2024 Summer Retreat: Tummo, Part 4

This summer at Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, Tenzin Rinpoche will teach the final part of the practice of Tummo from the text Ku Sum Rang Shar (Spontaneous Arising of the Three Kayas). This text is by Shardza Tashi Gyaltsen Rinpoche, a Bön master who achieved the body of light, or rainbow body, in 1934.

Because of the nature of this practice, this retreat will be held in person only, at both Serenity Ridge in Virginia and at Chamma Ling Poland’s retreat center in Wilga.

If you have met the prerequisites of either attending the 2023 Tummo Part 3 teachings at Serenity Ridge or at Chamma Ling Poland, in person or online, you are welcome to register for this retreat. Please click on the link below and our registrar will be in touch with details how to register.

The retreat begins on Saturday, June 22 with an evening teaching.
Join us for one or both weeks!
