Date: July 23rd to August 2nd, 2026.
Dear Vajra Family,
Please join us for the 2026 Summer Sangha Green Tara Retreat at Khandroling, the sacred retreat land of Tsegyalgar East in Buckland, Massachusetts, July 23 through August 2. The complete schedule is listed below.
This year we are extremely fortunate to have Dr Phuntsog Wangmo lead a Green Tara practice retreat, along with recordings of Rinpoche’s teachings on Green Tara. Carisa O’Kelly and Bodhi Krause will offer a course on the first part of the Vajra Dance of the Song of the Vajra (Ema kiri kiri to kelanam), and Paula Barry and Naomi Zeitz will guide participants in daily sessions of Yantra Yoga.
We are pleased to offer the chance to experience, in the Tsegyalgar East Gonpa, Namkhai Yeshi's artistic work "ATIMONLAM Outer, Inner, Secret" in 5.1 Surround Sound acousmatic music. An unconventional guided meditation to create an imaginary world transfigured in your mind that in the evolution of the musical gesture can converge to the discovery of your own nature.
Please come and partake of this bountiful community gathering!
Love,
Tsegyalgar East Gakyil
Please note: Transmission from Choegyal Namkhai Norbu or Namkhai Yeshi is required for the Green Tara retreat and Vajra Dance of the Song of the Vajra course. Yantra Yoga is open to all.
