Heruka Retreat with New Essence of Vajrayana Sadhana

Deepen your connection with Heruka, the Compassion Buddha in Highest Yoga Tantra, during this special Heruka Retreat based on the New Essence of Vajrayana sadhana and guided by Ian McGlade. This retreat offers a rare opportunity to strengthen your familiarity with Heruka’s profound instructions, draw closer to the union of great bliss and emptiness, and gain confidence in your daily Vajrayana practice.

Across two days, we will engage in four 1.5-hour sessions each day, creating a spacious and supportive environment for mantra recitation, meditation, and quiet contemplation. With clear guidance and a peaceful atmosphere, this retreat helps us deepen our faith, purify obstacles, and develop the joyful energy needed to progress swiftly along the tantric path.

Open to those who have already received the Heruka empowerment, as well as those who sincerely intend to receive it in the near future.

Join us for a meaningful and transformative weekend of pure practice.
