Summer Practice and Karma Yoga Encampment on Khandroling*
THREE MONTH SUMMER PRACTICE AND KARMA YOGA ENCAMPMENT ON KHANDROLING
Generations of Dzogchen practitioners have gathered together in seasonal encampments to practice, work and live together in a community dedicated to cultivating one's awareness. This summer Tsegyalgar East will host for the first time a three month Encampment from Memorial to Labor Day, in what we hope will become an annual event.
Participants must commit to one-three months of living on Khandroling, the community retreat land in Buckland, MA founded by Choegyal Namkhai Norbu, and engage in the daily karma yoga schedule. Participants are free to take part in daily group practices and the rich culture of Tsegyalgar East. There will be no charge; participants will be provided with two meals a day; free camping and retreat with Chogyal Namkhai Norbu July 6-10, 2012. The program is limited to 12 participants who must apply.

Participants can expect to engage at least four hours a day in supervised Karma Yoga as they learn light construction work, forestry, landscaping and land management skills.
Weekly Yantra Yoga, Vajra Dance, and contemplative practices will be led by senior practitioners in the community on Khandroling and in the Schoolhouse Gonpa. A variety of community social events and programming will be announced as developed.
