*VDBB is a 6 day course of 1 hour sessions taught by authorized Vajra Dance instructors, Carisa and Bodhi. Plan to attend the entire 6 days to learn the dance. VDBB is ideal for newcomers and is open to all who feel drawn to practice Vajra Dance.

For planning purposes please indicate that you are interested and expecting to attend some part of the retreat even if you are not prepared to donate at this time. We plan on broadcasting the replay of one of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu's retreats via Zoom, along with practice sessions (excluding the Long Goma Devi practice and the VDBB).
