✨ Embodied Dharma Tour of Nepal ✨
Dzokden Kalachakra Yoga Level 1 • Sacred Pilgrimage Retreat
September 29 – October 11, 2026
https://dzokden.org/events/nepal-2026/?nocache=1
Join Yeshe Wangmo for a rare pilgrimage-retreat through the sacred landscape of Nepal—where Guru Rinpoche and Mandarava attained realization, where the Jonang lineage continues to preserve the Kalachakra tradition, and where pilgrimage becomes embodied spiritual practice.
This is not ordinary tourism.
This is a living journey into mantra, meditation, chanting, sacred movement, devotion, and Kalachakra Yoga practiced in some of Buddhism’s most holy sites.
🌸 Khentrul Rinpoche will join us for the opening days of the pilgrimage in Kathmandu to bestow special Kalachakra blessings and Guru Rinpoche prayer transmissions that we will carry throughout the journey. After these opening transmissions, the pilgrimage retreat will be led by Yeshe Wangmo.
Throughout the tour, Yeshe Wangmo will guide participants in Dzokden Kalachakra Yoga Level 1 — a gentle, restorative system inspired by the foundations of Tibetan Trul Khor while intentionally not teaching any of the restricted or secret Vajrayana yogas. These practices are designed to help practitioners:
• Relax the nervous system and enter “rest and digest”
• Prepare the body for meditation and vajra posture
• Restore balance through breath, movement, and awareness
• Build a foundation for deeper yogic and spiritual practice
Accessible for all body types, ages, and levels of experience.
🎶 Joining the pilgrimage is Renee Saggar, offering devotional bhakti chanting and sacred singing practices to help participants open the heart and discover their authentic sacred voice. Through chanting together in holy places, devotion becomes a living experience of connection, joy, and inner transformation.
🙏 During our time in Pharping, Jonang monks will join us to offer instruction in traditional chanting, mudras, and ritual practice. Together, we will practice in the sacred caves of Guru Rinpoche where great masters attained realization. These sessions are a rare opportunity to experience Vajrayana not only as philosophy or ritual, but as a fully embodied path where body, speech, and mind become integrated through practice in powerful pilgrimage sites.
✨ Pilgrimage Highlights Include:
• Opening blessings and transmissions from Khentrul Rinpoche
• Guru Rinpoche sacred caves in Pharping
• Maratika / Halesi long-life cave
• Boudhanath, Swayambhu & Namo Buddha
• Jonang monk chanting and mudra instruction in sacred caves
• Daily yoga, meditation, chanting, and devotional practice
• All meals, accommodations, and transportation included
In these sacred places, the body becomes mudra.
Speech becomes mantra.
Mind becomes meditation in motion.
Come practice Vajrayana as a living, embodied path surrounded by sacred sites, spiritual community, and the blessings of pilgrimage.
🌿 Open to all levels of practitioners.
