Sherap Chamma Retreat – Divine Feminine Meditation in the Bön Tradition

In many cultures the primordial female energy is seen as the origin of existence and the source of all positive qualities. As such, Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love, is the source of wisdom, and her medicine is love and compassion. The teachings of Sherap Chamma comprise one of the most important tantric cycles of the ancient Bön tradition.

Join us for a Sherap Chamma meditation retreat, exploring the divine feminine energy and one of the most important tantric cycles of the Bön tradition. Sherap Chamma, Mother of Wisdom and Love, embodies innate wisdom, compassion, and healing energy.

During this retreat, participants will learn a simple and powerful meditation practice to connect directly with Sherap Chamma. Through visualization, mantra, and deep contemplation, you can cultivate love, compassion, and spiritual clarity. The supportive group environment fosters healing of physical, energetic, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

Beginner and experienced meditators are warmly invited to this retreat.

Whether you are seeking practical tools to ease stress, a path for self-discovery, or an introduction to the authentic spiritual path of Bön, Calm Abiding (Zhiné): The Medicine of Tranquility offers a gentle and accessible meditation retreat. This foundational practice, known as calm abiding meditation, helps you steady the mind, cultivate clarity, and reconnect with your natural sense of balance.

Through guided practice, participants learn to observe wandering thoughts, develop focus and stability, and recognize the difference between the mind’s restless activity and its deeper, essential nature.

This retreat welcomes beginners, continuing students, and advanced practitioners of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, as well as anyone new to meditation or the Bön tradition of Tibet. It provides a supportive environment for reflection, integration, and personal growth.

I encourage people to attend the Calm Abiding retreat because the intensity of focus developed by this specific practice is very beneficial. Many traditions emphasize this. The only way to deeply understand profound teachings such as Dzogchen is to have a good experience of Calm Abiding. Without developing tranquility, there is no real experience of the nature of mind or sitting properly. To sit well, Calm Abiding is fundamental!
— Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

Tibetan Dream Yoga

with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

“The practice of dream yoga is about understanding more about appearances and what they truly are. And ultimately, it is about understanding who we are, the true sense of self.”
– Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

We spend a third of our lives sleeping. Every night we participate in profound mysteries, moving from one dimension of experience to another, losing our sense of self and finding it again, and yet we take it all for granted. We wake up in the morning and continue in “real” life, but in a sense we are still asleep and dreaming. The teachings tell us that we can continue in this deluded, dreamy state, day and night, or wake up to the truth.

Through practice, we can cultivate greater awareness during every moment of life. If we do, freedom and flexibility continually increase and we are less governed by habitual preoccupations and distractions. Eventually we develop a continuity of awareness that allows us to maintain full awareness during dream as well as in waking life. When we fully develop this capacity, we will find that we are living both waking and dreaming life with greater ease, comfort, clarity, and appreciation.

Workshop Features:

• Four-week teacher-guided online workshop
• Step-by-step class video instructions (via streaming video), with available Spanish Subtitles and English closed captions
• New material released twice a week including eight all-new guided meditations
• Eight hours of video instruction, exercises, and downloadable meditations
• No set class times – review video instruction any time and as often as necessary throughout the workshop
• Continuous personal support and individual advice from Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche via workshop forums
• Easy to use and navigate course site

The Three Heart Mantras

with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

The Three Heart Mantras are used in many different meditations in the Bön tradition and play a major role in the ngöndro practices. They are said to be the essence of enlightenment in sound and energy, and as we sing or chant the mantras our awareness is transformed to be in union with the Buddhas. They are used for purification, protection and as primary practices toward self-realization.

It is said that creating these mantras in any form brings merit and purification, so they are commonly found carved into stones, printed on prayer flags where they spread their benefits through the winds, and even drawn with gold ink and kept on shrines as an object of reverence and meditation. Their blessings are said to be endless. Also within this course Tenzin Rinpoche explains the essence of the Guru Yoga, Refuge and Bodhicitta practices, making this an excellent introduction to the tradition.

Red Garuda Retreat – Transform and Heal with Geshe Yungdrung Gyatso

The Red Garuda practice, an ancient method from the Tibetan Bön tradition, supports releasing negativity, cultivating inner strength, and restoring balance in body, mind, and environment.

The Red Garuda, associated with the fire element, is a potent practice for healing emotional and physical challenges, enhancing vitality, and harmonizing relationships with oneself and others. Its energy also addresses issues connected to the nagas, the beings of the waters, supporting personal and environmental balance.

This retreat provides a rare opportunity to release limiting patterns, cultivate courage and vitality, and step into greater harmony with the world.

Tibetan Dream Yoga with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

March 9–13, 2026

We sleep one-third of our lifetime, an average of 20 to 25 years. Dream yoga is a practice that spans every moment, waking and sleeping. It is a powerful tool of awakening used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions.

Foundational practices in dream yoga change the practitioner’s relationship to all experiences, develop conscious awareness, and often lead to lucidity in dreams. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of the mind or enlightenment itself.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will discuss the relationships between dream and waking, and dream and death. He will show how the causes of dreams are related to the six chakras, and how we can heal blocks in the chakras. He will teach the “four preparations” for sleep and the uses and methods of lucid dreaming.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche is one of very few masters of the Tibetan Bön Dzogchen tradition living in the West. He founded Ligmincha International, and is known for his ability to make Tibetan practices easily accessible to all students. Rinpoche is the author of nine books, including Wonders of the Natural Mind and The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep.
