Don't miss this rare, unique, and precious opportunity.

For the first time outside of Nepal, Mingyur Rinpoche will confer the Dorje Drolö Empowerment during a gathering open to everyone, from beginners to experienced practitioners. 

This practice invites you to develop courage, confidence, and a more open presence in the face of life’s challenges.

This is a particularly profound opportunity because of Mingyur Rinpoche’s deep-rooted connection with Dorje Drolö. 

Recently, he has given teachings from The Heart Essence of the Primordial Secret, a precious terma (treasure teaching) centered around Dorje Drolö and originally revealed by the first Mingyur Dorje.

To be directly empowered into this heart lineage by Rinpoche — at this time and place — is a profound gift.

There are no prerequisites for attending this event, the programme is open to all.

During the Empowerment there will be an opportunity to make an offering, should you wish to do so. You will also have the option of offering a traditional white scarf (Katak). These will be available to purchase at the venue.
