Explore the history, core teachings and practices that guide Buddhist practitioners in the Tibetan tradition in waking up to their true nature of innate compassion and wisdom. Each five-week course builds upon the previous while standing alone as a complete teaching, and may be taken individually.

Tara Mandala warmly invites all students in the Ösel Nyingtig Lineage who have received the Tröma Nagmo Empowerment to join this special annual retreat. This year’s gathering will be dedicated to Tröma Nagmo’s profound practices, offering a deep immersion into her Secret Mandala.

A gathering of Chöd practitioners from both the Magyu and Ösel Nyingtig lineage streams are coming together for a historic retreat on the land of Tara Mandala in the summer of 2025. Join us in community and immerse yourself in the profound teachings of Machig Labdrön and the powerful, resounding melodies of Chöd.

In Kapala Training Level IV, you will receive Machig’s Ultimate Meaning from Lama Tsultrim, as well as the Crystal and the Rainbow Rays Movement Practice and “Five Elements” Practice.

Course Four of “The Heart of Buddhism: A Year Long Buddhist Studies Program.” Experience the transformative power of Vajrayana Buddhism, the “diamond vehicle,” in which the sacred feminine and householder tradition illuminate a revolutionary path that transforms every experience into an opportunity for awakening.

Course Five of “The Heart of Buddhism: A Year Long Buddhist Studies Program.” Dzogchen (the “Great Perfection”) and Mahamudra (the “Great Seal”) are considered the highest teachings of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Discover how these teachings offer a direct path to realizing the mind’s innate clarity, and a training ground for abiding in wakefulness. 

Join us for two retreat weekends as we take an immersive journey through the transmission, teachings, and practice of Simhamukha: The Lion-Headed Dakini and Lama Tsultrim’s personal transformation work within the mandala.
