Vajrayogini Four Karmas Fire Offering 2023

The Vajrayogini Four Karmas Fire Offering is an advanced Vajrayana retreat open to practitioners who have completed the Vajrayogini Amending-the-Mantra Fire Offering.

Through the skillful means of the fire offering, in the Four Karmas practice we begin to engage more fully in all the karmas — the enlightened activities of pacifying, enriching, magnetizing, and destroying.

Who Can Attend

Open to practitioners who have completed the Vajrayogini Amending-the-Mantra Fire Offering.

Repeaters: Practitioners who have already attended a Four Karmas Fire Offering are invited to attend the full program at a discount of 50% off the tuition portion of the retreat. Add a note that you are a repeater when you register, and we will apply the discount.

Partial attendance is accepted for repeaters. Tuition and food will be prorated based on the regular per diem costs. If you wish to attend only part of the program, we cannot offer accommodations in the lodge until we are closer to the program date, as priority is being given to full attendees. To register for partial attendance in the Fire Offering, please follow the instructions below:

• Choose the “live or stay locally” OR shrine room floor option for housing;
• Use the “Comments or Special Needs” field in the Registration Form to tell us the following information:
  • Indicate your anticipated arrival day and time;
  • Indicate your departure date and time;
  • Tell us if you would would like to book a lodge room (or not… if you are happy staying elsewhere or in the shrine room);
• Select the “E-Transfer or Check” method of payment to bypass the deposit requirement. We will adjust your Guest Statement and send you a payment link.
