There will be practical silence throughout the week and a commitment to do a minimum of 3-4 practice sessions a day.
Prerequisites:

- You must have practiced or are practicing the Chenrezig visualization with signs *
- You must have participated in the Working with Emotions retreat and be practicing Working with Emotions
- You may not have suffered a trauma in the last year
This practice can be intense, so for safety all prerequisites must be met!
* Due to the nature of the retreat, attendees will need Chenrezig. If you have practiced or are practicing Chenrezig and have had signs, you meet the Chenrezig prerequisites.
- If you have not had signs, you can subscribe for Chenrezig practice with Jan Owen on Sundays at 11AM CST https://forms.gle/KZonz7yfmo9F8ENu8
- Additionally, you can tune into Lama Lena’s Chenrezig teaching on YouTube.

Costs
For this retreat an amount will be charged; this is for the accommodation and food costs and not for the teachings, as Lama Lena has taken a vow not to charge for her teachings and receive voluntary Dana instead.
An offering for the travel expenses for Lama Lena can be made on a voluntarily basis via PayPal on email: tshering.yeshes@gmail.com or in cash during the retreat.
Room placement
To insure that as many people as possible can participate in the retreat, rooms will be shared. Therefore, the few single rooms will only be allocated in consultation. If you know with whom you want to share a room with, please let me know by email. There is also the possibility to stay in a tent or camper; this is on the property of retreathaus Berghof.
