Mikhail Vir has offered to hold Sadhana Avalokiteshvara Retreat at Center Vajra on 19–21st of September 2026
This retreat is a profound immersion into Yidam practice—the meditative union with an enlightened Buddha-aspect. This intensive group practice utilizes a shared, focused contemplation on the deity's form and essence as a mirror for our true nature. Through deep meditation and sacred sound, we dissolve perceived boundaries, allowing the deity's wisdom to manifest within and transform the habitual patterns of our mind and heart.
At its core, the retreat is a collective journey of mantra. The powerful, unified recitation of sacred syllables amplifies spiritual energy, creates a resonant field of shared intention, and deepens the connection within the group. This communal vibration elevates the practice from a personal discipline into a universal offering—fostering healing, sharpening focus, and generating blessings that extend beyond the self to benefit all beings.
We hope you can join us for this occasion. Please read the details carefully, as some special circumstances apply to this event:
