A transformative pilgrimage to the heart of Asia
June 23 - July 12 2010

Travel with a great spiritual master on this journey to discover your own Wisdom Mind. Learing ancient tantric and shamanic practices, we will carry these into the vast and sapcious heartland of Mongolia. With the practices of chod, windhorse and other, particapants will reinvigorate both the land and their own lifepath.

The Tibetan Practice of Chod is a powerful method of cutting through obstacles-material, emotional and spiritual. it continually clarifies and free one's body, mind and spirit, as well as healsing others. Relying on Feminine Wisdom energy, the body itself becomes an offering to all beings in the universe. This is the ultimate practice of the compassionate spiritual warrior, a rich apprach to life that leads to ultimate liberation.
