A three-day spiritual retreat is conducted once every 2–3 years in Perth, under the direct guidance and compassionate presence of His Holiness Garab Rinpoche. This special retreat is held only during Rinpoche’s visits to Perth and is considered a profoundly blessed occasion for deep spiritual engagement.
Significance
This retreat is strictly for Garab Rinpoche’s practicing Throema disciples. It is not open to the general public or to those who are not actively engaged in the Throema practice lineage. This requirement ensures the integrity and depth of the retreat, allowing all participants to immerse themselves in the sacred practice with shared focus, understanding, and dedication.
The retreat offers a rare and powerful opportunity to:
Deepen one’s practice and realization of the Throema cycle
Strengthen devotion and samaya with the Guru
Purify obscurations and gather merit and wisdom
Receive direct blessings, guidance, and teachings from Rinpoche
