Retreat with Part Time Volunteering

Gomde is entirely run by volunteers, and we often need an extra set of hands for housework, assisting in the kitchen, and especially in the areas of construction and maintenance. If you are interested in coming to Gomde for a retreat with part time volunteering, please fill out the form ‘Personal Retreat Inquiry’  under ‘Contact us’, and we will get back to you about availability and what skills are currently needed.

Annual Group retreats

21_edited.jpg

Three-month spring retreat & six-week fall retreat

Every year Gomde offers one or two organized group retreats under the guidance of Drubpon Lama Tenzin Sangpo, on the text Sphere of Refined Gold, a terma revealed by Chokgyur Lingpa with commentary by Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche, combined with a daily group practice of Vajrasattva. The three month retreat begins in early spring. The fall programs are of various lengths, ranging from two to six weeks.

What are the prerequisites for the retreat?

To participate in the retreat one would ideally have received:

  • the Vajrasattva empowerment in the Chokling Tersar Lineage

  • teachings on Sphere of Refined Gold from Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche or another highly qualified master.

The minimum prerequisites are to have a strong foundation in Buddhist practice through both study and time spent in retreat, and to have received teachings on the great perfection from a highly qualified master. If in doubt, one should ask Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche if it would be beneficial to participate in the retreat. If you have additional questions about your eligibility, please email us at retreatinpyrenees@gomde.fr and we will discuss them with Drubpon Lama Tenzin.
