Vajrayogini Magnetizing Fire Offering
with Dorothée Rosen and Patty Livingston
May 1 - 4, 2025
Join Vajrayogini around the hearth to magnetize all good things for yourself, Dorje Denma Ling, and the world.
For this section of the Vajrayogini Fire Offering, we are especially magnetizing the awake relationship between dharma teachers and students. The collaborative format of these precious few days offers a chance to deepen our practice: being able to jump into the leadership roles of loppön, umdze, and chopön gives everyone the opportunity to learn, and to gain confidence and understanding in all aspects of fire offering.
We are so lucky to have the opportunity at DDL with its ideal fire-offering set-up; please join us in this budding Spring season for the unique opportunity to serve the yidam in her mandala.
NEW!!
Bonus afternoon for torma making Wednesday, April 30th at DDL. Come for lunch and to join in with preparation and settle in. Best way to learn, and a wonderful opportunity to share stories and knowledge.
