Summer Yoga & Meditation Retreat
at the Mountain Zen Center Crestone, Colorado
Chinnamasta – Fierce Awakener, Humble Bow
A Sanctuary for the Soul • A Temple for Your Becoming
July 29 – August 2, 2026
Step Into the Temple of Chinnamasta
Do you pour yourself endlessly into others—offering until your own well runs dry?
This retreat invites you to meet the fierce yet liberating energy of Chinnamasta, the goddess who slices through our patterns of over-giving. She reveals the raw truth beneath exhaustion: not collapse, but a humble, surrendered bow before the Great Mystery.
Chinnamasta is the Kundalini Shakti—the lightning serpent who unravels us, awakens clarity, and gifts us the courage to honor our boundaries with compassion.
For five days, in the stillness of the Crestone mountains, we gather in the temple of sisterhood. Together we will explore myth, mantra, mudra, meditation, and silence—walking the path of Chinnamasta’s fierce awakening and her gift of deep liberation.
