Dear Vajra Dancers,
We warmly invite you to a two-day retreat in Amsterdam dedicated to the Dance of the Three Vajras, Friday June 20 and Saturday 21, organised by Rangdrolling, with Vajra Dance teacher Maarten Schoon.
In this retreat we will learn, refresh and deepen our understanding of the Vajra Dance of the Three Vajras. We intend to dance the Expanded or Irregular version of this dance, and a version from the Turning the Wheel of the Vajra dances. The program will be flexible and adapted to the needs of participants.
The Vajra Dance is connected to the Dzogchen teachings of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu and Namkhai Yeshi. If you are interested in joining this retreat but have not received teachings from them, please contact us!
About the teacher
Maarten Schoon has been interested in many forms of Western and Eastern spiritual teaching since he was a teenager. In 2009 he discovered the Dzogchen Teachings, and he received Transmission from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu in 2010. At his first live retreat that year, he became fascinated by the Vajra Dance. He started learning the dance from Stoffelina Verdonk, followed several teacher trainings and finished his training for the first level in 2018. He could not be officially authorised as a first level Vajra Dance teacher until 2025, due to the passing of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. Together with fellow teacher Natalia Gershevskaya, he has organised Vajra Dance retreat weekends in Germany and Amsterdam for many years.
