(Online Sundays): Dawn of Vajrasattva Study Groups for Scorpion Seal Practitioners

Since you asked, we are pleased to announce another six-session course of study with Christie. This round we will study Vajrasattva from a variety of sources and together practise the Sakyong’s text, The Dawn of Vajrasattva received at Scorpion Seal Assembly One. 
 
Over the six sessions we will look into the traditional meaning of “dawn of Vajrasattva;” the charnel ground and the mother principle as the ground of visualization; purification and co-emergent wisdom; devotion in the Vajrayana; the creation stage of kyerim; and the dissolution practice of dzogrim as experienced at the end of life.
 
Scheduling is a bit tricky as we need to avoid the weekends the Sakyong is teaching as well as accommodate Christie’s busy schedule. We are offering one group that meets once per month on Sundays (9-11), and two groups that meet twice a month (Mondays 9-11 or Fridays 10-12). Specific dates are as follows:

1. Sunday Group: 9:00 to 11:00 am Atlantic 
   September 19, October 17, November 14, December 12, January TBD, and February TBD
   (Dates will be chosen for January and February when the Sakyong’s teaching schedule is known.)
   NOTE 10 AM START TIME. October 8: Review of the Practice with Christie (Both Groups Together)
2. Friday Group: 10:00 m to 12:00 pm Atlantic 
   September 24, October 22, November 5, November 19, December 3, December 17
   October 8: Review of the Practice with Christie (Both Groups Together)

Please note the following logistics:

• We are sending this invitation initially only to the people who participated in the previous study groups so that you have first access to the group that works best for you.
• Registration is again limited to 15 participants per group. When a group is full, you can choose to join the Waiting List or register for a different group.
• It is impossible for us to keep the members of the previous groups together for obvious reasons. If there is someone with whom you’d like to join in a group, please contact them directly. You are welcome to forward this email to other Scorpion Seal friends as well.
• You and your friends will have VIP access to these registration links for a week, until August 10th. At that time we’ll open registration up and send the invitation to other Scorpion Seal practitioners. You are still welcome to register anytime, of course.
