No Set Fee – Pay Whatever You Can Afford

We are delighted to welcome back Tulku Yeshi Rinpoche May 13th – 15th and give the Yuthog Nyingthik empowerment and Tsalung Trulkor teachings.

Tsalung trulkor is a practice that works intensively with our subtle body. By combining special breath retention techniques with physical movements and visualizations, we move our wind-energy throughout the body, allowing it to reach deep places and open more and more subtle channels.  It is said that tsalung trulkor is a wonderful daily practice,
