Description of the Retreat

Join a living tradition, rooted in ancient practice. Escape to a secluded mountain sanctuary deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains for a weekend of profound rest, deep relaxation, and authentic spiritual connection.

The weekend is guided by Tibetan Buddhist lineage holder Drupon Chongwol-la — the drupon, or ‘retreat master,’ for Lama Glenn Mullin, an acclaimed Tibetologist and translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama who studied under the 25 greatest living masters of Tibet. Learn one of the fundamental practices of the Tibetan tantric yoga tradition straight from the source.

At the heart of this transformative retreat is the practice of Green Tara—a female Buddha deeply revered as the embodiment of compassion, courage, and protection. Her practice offers a powerful path to go beyond fear, reconnect with your inner strength, and face life’s challenges with an open, courageous heart. Whether you join us fully on-site surrounded by waterfalls and forestland, attend for our intensive Saturday session, or connect globally via our livestream option, you will be part of a supportive sangha community.

Teacher/Teachings

The weekend is guided by Tibetan Buddhist lineage holder Drupon Chongwol-la — the drupon, or ‘retreat master,’ for Lama Glenn Mullin. Lama Glenn is an acclaimed Tibetologist and translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama who studied under 25 of the greatest living masters of Tibet.

Bringing an extraordinary breadth of spiritual depth to his students, Drupon Chongwol-la:

  • Has been practicing Tibetan Tantra under Lama Glenn since 2007.
  • Teaches Buddhist Tantra and Tummo across the world.
  • Prior to his deep immersion in Tibetan Tantra, served as a Zen Monk for 16 years.

This rich background offers participants a rare, multi-faceted opportunity to learn profound spiritual disciplines directly from a dedicated master who represents a pure transmission of the lineage.
