Casa Werma is honored to welcome once again Drupon Lama Dorje.
This retreat provides the rare opportunity to learn profound meditation techniques designed to stabilize the mind and cultivate inner peace.
At the core of this retreat is The Great Shravasti Meditation, a step-by-step journey through Shamatha, Vipassana, and Mahamudra meditations. Rooted in the teachings of the Anapanasati Sutra and enriched by a Vajrayana perspective, this practice reveals the nature of mind through mindfulness of breath.
Participants will explore mindfulness in four aspects:
The practice is presented in 16 steps, offering both depth and clarity, and is complemented by yogic breathwork that supports physical and mental relaxation. These techniques were requested by His Holiness Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche, head of the Drikung Kagyu lineage, for Lama Dorje to share with practitioners in Latin America.
In addition to seated meditation, the retreat includes:
This retreat strikes a balance between teachings and silent practice of the teachings. Meditation can often feel daunting, but Lama Dorje’s gentle guidance makes it accessible to all. He offers personalized insights during daily Q&A sessions, ensuring your questions about meditation are addressed with wisdom and care.

Noble Silence is a period of intentional quiet, where external distractions are minimized to foster inner awareness. In the busyness of life, wisdom often fades as quickly as it arises. Noble Silence creates a space where the mind can settle, allowing insights to penetrate deeper and remain with us long after the retreat. With the guidance of an experienced Tibetan Lama, this silence becomes a powerful tool for internal transformation.
This retreat welcomes practitioners of all levels. Whether you are a seasoned meditator or just beginning, Lama Dorje’s clear instructions and tailored responses will guide you along your path:
To fully embrace the retreat’s transformative power, participants will engage in a digital detox, leaving behind phones and devices. Dharma books and journals are welcome, allowing for reflection without distraction.
