Phowa Retreat with Lama Palden
July 29 - August 1
| 10 AM - 5 PM Daily
In person only at Wisdom River Meditation Center

Join Lama Palden and the Shangpa Group for an intensive Sukhasiddhi Phowa retreat July 29- August 1. This particular Phowa is one of the Sukhasiddhi Six Yogas.

It will be a 4-day non-residential retreat at Wisdom River Center 10 AM -5 PM daily.

This retreat is open to people who:

  • have a meditation practice

  • have taken Refuge

  • have taken the Sukhasiddhi empowerment*

Phowa is a transference of consciousness meditation that is done by oneself right at the time of death, or if one is very proficient at it, it can be done for another after their death. It enables awareness to leave the body through the crown chakra, and to go to the best possible rebirth, or even attain awakening in the bardo.

Lama Palden has been doing Phowa since 1978, and teaching it for over 25 years.

* If there are enough interested people who have not yet had the Sukhasiddhi Empowerment, we can offer it at the start of the retreat.
