Dr. David Komodo Kittay
Michele Loew
Join us for a very special Vajra Yoga Summer Retreat at Menla Mountain July 18-22, 2022. In conjunction with the July 22-24th exploration of the Vajra Rosary Tantra, we will gather to practice yoga and study teachings from the Buddha such as the Panchen Lama's Guru Yoga, known as Lama Choepa, the unexcelled yoga tantric traditions Esoteric Community, the Death-Exterminator-Yamantaka, and the Superbliss Machine-Kalachakra, which all have strong connections with the Vajra Rosary Tantra. Maintaining a daily practice thread focused on rejuvenation and longevity coming from the Yogas associated with Sīta Tārā, we will explore essential perspectives drawn from these sources, so that we can incorporate in daily life a sense of how to enhance regular health and livelihood and interpersonal relationships by deepening and broadening awareness of the subtle inner processes of the central nervous system.For those who like to be super-prepared, we recommend studying the following primary textual resources:ScheduleMonday, July 18th
