VAJRASATTVA INCUBATION & INVOCATION
Psychedelic Buddhism
study + retreat

FREE INFORMATION SESSION
(( Zoom May 17th 7pm ))

This program is for those interested in participating in a group, or individual, Psychedelic Buddhist purification retreat.

Vajrasattva practice is a form of deity yoga designed to purify one's bad karma and heal trauma. It is a powerful methodology that employs focused attention, mantra recitation, ritual, and visualization of archetypal symbolism to engender spiritual growth.

We believe the cultivation of a consistent home practice is an essential prerequisite for a successful retreat. Therefore our program includes a 4-6 week incubation period of study and practice in preparation for a 1-day group or individual Psychedelic Buddhist retreat.

Our retreats feature guided meditation by Doc Kelley and live vibraphone by musician Chris Dingman.

PROGRAM
4 Study sessions: 7-9 pm every Thursday
4 Practice sessions: 11-12 noon every Sunday
1 Day-long retreat featuring live music by Chris Dingman
2 Integration sessions

CAVEATS
-We adopt a non-sectarian approach that looks at a variety of sadhana from several traditions.
-This program requires a commitment to engage in a daily home meditation practice.

MUSIC
Chris Dingman is a vibraphonist and composer known for his distinctive approach to the instrument: sonically rich and expansive, bringing listeners on a journey to a beautiful, transcendent place. He has done significant work with legendary artists Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter as well as next generation visionaries such as Linda Oh, Ambrose Akinmusire, Steve Lehman, and many others, performing around the world including India, Vietnam, and extensively in Europe and North America.

He has been profiled by NPR, The New York Times, AMNY and many other publications, and has received fellowships and grants from the Chamber Music America, the Doris Duke Foundation, New Music USA, South Arts, and the Herbie Hancock Institute (formerly the Thelonious Monk Institute). Hailed by The New York Times as a “dazzling” soloist and a composer with a “fondness for airtight logic and burnished lyricism,” the fluidity of his musical approach has earned him praise as “an extremely gifted composer, bandleader, and recording artist.” (Jon Weber, NPR).

FACILITATOR
Christopher “Doc” Kelley is co-founder and organizer of Psychedelic Sangha. He received a PhD in religion from Columbia University where he studied Indo-Tibetan Buddhism with Robert A. F. Thurman. He is a part-time associate professor in Religious Studies at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, the New School University.
