Chamma Ling Colorado Offers Soul Retrieval Series
With Geshe Denma Gyaltsen, Resident Lama of Ligmincha Texas
Three separate retreats are being offered at Chamma Ling Colorado in Crestone to teach participants the ancient Bön methods of divination, meditation and ritual of soul retrieval. The series is being taught by Geshe Denma Gyaltsen, resident lama of Ligmincha Texas.
- Life-Force Ransom (Chi Lu), October 4–7, 2018
- Tséwang Rikdzin Longevity Practice & Sidpa Gyalmo Divination, Spring 2019
- Soul Retrieval (La Lu), Dates TBD
Each of these retreats is a whole and complete teaching in itself and is open to all. However, to gain a certificate of completion all three retreats must be attended, and all the practices and accumulations complete.
The soul is composed of the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and space. These elements pervade all of life and are the essential components of our worldly existence. The shamanic rites of life force retrieval (tse lu) and soul retrieval (la lu) are methods of calling on the essence of the elements—elemental spirits—to balance and heal the individual.
Through the ritual of soul retrieval, one can bring back the positive qualities of the elements that are missing or weakened. With the addition of life-force ransom, the cooperation of spirits and dharma protectors is recruited to help sustain the energy of the recovered elements.
The retreat will be held at the Chamma Ling Colorado Community House within the retreat center. A limited number of cabins and dorm beds are available for participants, as well as camping on site. Participants also may choose to stay off site during the retreat.
