Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche’s teaching of
Yum Chen Sherab Cham Ma
Part 2
The Inner Circle of Five Cham Ma
May 12th – 17th, 2025
Yeru Retreat Center – Emily, Minnesota
This past August, Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche led us on an unforgettable journey through the teachings of Cham Ma: The Five Inner Circles in the stunning setting of Crete, Greece. The retreat was nothing short of transformative. While we gained so much insight, we also realized there is still so much more to learn. As Rinpoche explained, Cham Ma’s wisdom is deep and vast, and true understanding requires continued study and practice. It’s not something that can be fully absorbed in
Originally, our plan was to return to the retreat center in Greece next year, but many students have expressed a desire to keep the Cham Ma retreat closer to home for 2025. With so many already planning to attend His Eminence’s ceremony in Nepal in February and others looking forward to the retreat in Costa Rica, it made sense to hold the next Cham Ma retreat at the Yeru Retreat Center in Emily, Minnesota, as a more cost-effective option.
Next April 2025, Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche will continue this journey by teaching part two of Cham Ma: The Five Inner Circles. During this retreat, Rinpoche will guide us deeper into the teachings, including how to transform ourselves through Cham Ma’s essence using “Tsa Sum” (the Three Channels) and “Khorlo” (energy points) connections. We’ll also explore unification with the ultimate nature of Yum Chen Mo Sherab Cham Ma, the embodiment of wisdom, compassion, and love.
If you missed the first retreat, no need to worry! You can access the recordings and join this next phase fully prepared. This is an ideal opportunity for anyone seeking strength and healing to overcome life’s obstacles and negativities. Cham Ma is a profound teaching, and this retreat promises to be a powerful, transformative experience.
Yum Chen Mo, the Great Mother, is the source of compassion, love, and wisdom. Cham Ma, the loving mother, is the protector and guide for all who call upon her. Under Rinpoche’s guidance, you will deepen your connection to these powerful teachings, opening your heart, expanding your compassion, and transforming karmic traces.
Our days will be filled with Rinpoche’s teachings, spiritual practice, peaceful walks through the beautiful retreat grounds, and time for reflection. The serene surroundings of Yeru Retreat Center, with its tranquil Garuda Lake, provide the perfect backdrop to delve into the heart of Cham Ma. Whether you enjoy a quiet canoe ride or a simple moment of silence by the lake, you’ll find peace in every corner of this beautiful setting.
Evenings will be magical, filled with quiet moments of reflection and the warmth of community connection. The energy of Cham Ma and the serenity of the retreat grounds will make each evening a truly unforgettable experience.
This retreat will be a unique blend of spiritual depth, community, and natural beauty. Whether you choose a private room, shared accommodation, or a dormitory, the all-inclusive retreat offers comfort, serenity, and a sacred space for learning. It’s a rare opportunity to engage with Latri Nyima Dakpa Rinpoche’s teachings of Cham Ma in an extraordinary setting that fosters personal and spiritual growth.
Join us for this unforgettable retreat experience at the Yeru Retreat Center in Emily, Minnesota. Rinpoche has shared that while Zoom is effective for participating in teachings, being physically present offers a far more powerful and transformative experience. The energy, connection, and time spent in retreat with others are truly unmatched.
