The Vajrayana Winter Gathering will not be a set programme led by a teacher. Rather it will be a  container for group led practice and study. You are welcome to join us for the full retreat or attend just part of it. We will have a member of staff to act as liaison for the retreat to support you in your practice, study and celebration requirements!

Alongside the Vajrayana Winter Gathering there will be a public programme (taught in French with translation) and you will be more than welcome to attend a number of open talks during the retreat.

This is a wonderful opportunity to participate in a rejuvenating and spacious retreat at a beautiful time of year here at Dechen Chöling – we look forward to welcoming and hosting you.
