Join a living tradition, rooted in ancient practice
The weekend is guided by Tibetan Buddhist lineage holder Drupon Chongwol-la — the drupon, or ‘retreat master,’ for Lama Glenn Mullin, an acclaimed Tibetologist and translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama who studied under the 25 greatest living masters of Tibet.
Drupon Chongwol-la has been practicing Tibetan Tantra under Lama Glenn since 2007, and teaches Buddhist Tantra and Tummo across the world. Prior to this, he served as a Zen Monk for 16 years. Learn one of the fundamental practices of the Tibetan tantric yoga tradition straight from the source.
