Gathering Drala and Werma: A Weekend Werma Retreat (Online)
with Eve Rosenthal
Hosted by Shambhala Online
Saturday, September 14 - Sunday, September 15, 2024
This weekend retreat is an opportunity for the global Shambhala sangha of Werma practitioners to refresh our relationship to Shambhala culture and our unique lineage of teachings through the practice of the Werma Sadhana.
The Werma Sadhana deepens our experience of lungta, drala, enlightened society, and vast mind. During this retreat, commentary and guidance will be given to deepen our understanding of the meaning of each section of the practice. In addition to formal practice sessions, there will be opportunities to share our questions, insights and discoveries with each other.
For Eve Rosenthal, who has been practicing Werma for several decades, this sadhana strengthens the heart connection to our Shambhala lineage and culture. She is eager to practice and explore this sadhana with her fellow Shambhala warriors. Join her for a very special sangha-wide retreat where Drala and Werma will gather like clouds!
Prerequisites: Participants must have received Werma transmission within the Shambhala or Vajradhatu mandala.
