REGISTRATION/CHECK-IN:

Everyone is asked to please check in when they arrive. Registration will open at 10am on Tuesday, September 12 to allow volunteers and participants to get oriented and settled the day before. The drubchen will officially start at 2pm on September 13. Everyone will gather with Rinpoche and the lamas to open the Mandala of Vajrakilaya and to invite the Gatekeepers. From this point on, the formal "retreat boundary" of the drubchen will be set. Participants may leave the boundary and return to take food and rest as needed. The drubchen will officially end on September 21. September 22 will be our first Bhutanese Tshechu in Crestone, with cultural dance performances by the Pema Lingpa Treasure Dance ensemble from Bhutan. We hope you can join us.

For those arriving any day after September 12, please check in at Registration when you arrive.
