HYBRID: Meeting the Awakened Feminine: Vajrayogini Retreat in the Great Stupa

Meeting the Awakened Feminine is a Vajrayogini retreat led by Greg Smith at Drala Mountain Center in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado. It takes place in the Great Stupa and runs as a hybrid program, so practitioners can attend in person on the mountain or join online from home. It is a week-long Buddhist retreat for people drawn to the awakened feminine as it is understood through Vajrayogini, a figure of the Vajrayana tradition.

What to Expect

The retreat is framed around meeting the awakened feminine through the Vajrayogini tradition, with the Great Stupa as its setting. Greg Smith leads the program across the week. The hybrid format means the same retreat is offered to those who travel to Colorado and to those who take part remotely, so the community gathers in two places at once.

The Setting

Drala Mountain Center is a Buddhist-inspired retreat center near Red Feather Lakes, in the mountains of northern Colorado. The Great Stupa, the monument at the heart of the land, is where this retreat takes place. Those attending in person practice within it for the week. Those joining online follow the program from wherever they are.

Before You Go

Choose the format that suits you: in person at Drala Mountain Center, or online as part of the hybrid offering. Because this is a Vajrayana retreat centered on Vajrayogini, it is worth reading the full program description from Drala Mountain Center before registering, to see whether the practice is right for you and whether any prior experience or commitments are expected.
