Join Lama Dorje and the community for a soulful retreat where you’ll learn to master your mind through the power of mantras within the deep embrace of the Costa Rican cloud forest.
Live with an experienced Tibetan meditation master for a weekend and look deeply into the mind. Learn how to come home to your true nature of wisdom and compassion in a joyful and moving way.
You've heard Lama Dorje's mantras on Spotify—now is the opportunity to sing with him in person!
Lama grew up in a Tibetan monastery and later entered 4 years of solitary retreat where he was taught profound teachings to tame the mind through an unbroken lineage of enlightened masters.
It is such an honor we will receive these sacred teachings here, while enjoying chai and gathering in communal mantra sessions that uplift and unite. These sacred oral teachings of mantra are a deep spiritual practice that have been passed down for generations to guide us on the path of inner peace.
Over 3 days, we will look deeply into the technology of mantra —keys to embodying Unconditional Love, Pure Strength, and Primordial Wisdom. When our minds are distracted by attachment, anger, and confusion, these mantras are the specific medicine which clear the clouds and bring clarity to our lives.
There are habit energies that lie deep within our consciousness. It is only through introspection, mindfulness, and application of the correct teachings can we truly transform ourselves to benefit society.
Lama Dorje will guide us through three powerful mantras:
Lama Dorje will share the sacred oral transmission and profound instructions of each mantra. We will discuss how to apply these teachings in real life situations. With ample Q&A sessions, you’ll gain practical wisdom for transforming your thoughts and actions.
Acquiring a mantra transmission from a qualified teacher like Lama Dorje is a potent experience. The transmission carries with it the blessings and wisdom of an unbroken lineage that dates back over 2,500 years ago, making it a profound and potent practice for participants.
Embrace community through song circles and mantra recitations, letting the sacred sounds resonate deeply. Once you understand the deep meaning of each mantra, and how they relate to the mind, a mantra circle becomes even more precise and potent.
Each evening ends with a Fire Circle, where we come home to our true nature.

Our partners at TierraS have lovingly offered a space at very low cost in order to make these teachings available to more people at a more approachable price. We are so grateful for their generosity and kindness.
Please note, this is a permaculture center, therefore conditions are more nature based and rustic. Glamping tents are new and beautiful with wood floors and comfy beds. Glamping is shared occupancy only, and all bathrooms are composting toilets. Showers are shared (with hot water).
*If you are someone who prefers to sleep alone or in a more traditional room, there are centers nearby which we can put you in contact with for sleeping arrangements. You can handle the booking on your own, and simply get a commuter ticket with us. Contact Sara Alvarez for more information events@lamadorje.net
