This retreat is in preparation for the 108 springs retreat. This retreat is only for those who have attended all of the great 7-day Chod retreat from Dec 26-Jan 3, 2009 with Rinpoche in Nelson.

The fee for the retreat is on a sliding scale, you choose between $75-$100 per day. This includes all food, teachings, commentary and practices. Accomodation at the gompa is also on a sliding scale, you choose between $25-$50 per day. Please state clearly when you register if you wish to stay at the gompa.

If you are unable to do all the retreat but can do some you are welcome to do so, however you must do the beginning of the retreat so if you can only do 4 days, plan to do the first 4 days.
