*Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments are a pre-requsite for this retreat or having the intention to receive them as soon as possible*
The training in the superior transference of consciousness, which is presented in the sadhana called The Uncommon Yoga of Inconceivability, is the actual uncommon yoga of inconceivability. This training is called ‘uncommon yoga’ because it is an uncommon practice of Vajrayogini Tantra. In the Tantras of other Deities this special training is not contained. This training is called ‘inconceivability’ because it has inconceivable meaning, and gives us inconceivable meaning in this life and in life after life.
In this retreat, Gen Norbu will guide meditations within The Uncommon Yoga of Inconceivability sadhana, based on the teachings from the International Summer Festival in England.

“This uncommon yoga practice is superior to powa practice, the practice of transference of consciousness to a Pure Land.” - The New Guide to Dakini Land, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
