We warmly invite a small number of volunteers to support the upcoming visit of His Holiness the 43rd Sakya Trizin at SIBA, a Buddhist retreat centre in the Snowy River Country of East Gippsland.

This is a rare and meaningful opportunity to contribute behind the scenes to help create a calm, welcoming environment for teachings and retreat activities.

Volunteers assist with simple practical tasks such as kitchen support, housekeeping, and caring for shared spaces.

The experience offers time in a peaceful natural setting, connection with a supportive community, and the chance to be close to an important teaching visit.

Accommodation and meals are provided.

If you feel drawn to offer your time in service, we would love to hear from you.

It is our great fortune that we will be able to host a very special five-day retreat consisting of empowerments, teachings and Dharma activities with His Holiness 43rd Sakya Trizin in the beautiful, peaceful environment of SIBA Retreat Centre in East Gippsland, Victoria.

His Holiness will bestow the Vajrasattva, Green and Red Tara empowerments as well as the precious Two-Day Hevajra Cause Empowerment.

The Hevajra Cause Empowerment is a rare and precious opportunity to receive the transmission of this important practice that is prominent in the Sakya tradition. It opens a gateway to further practices, and only high lamas can bestow it.

As part of this 5-day retreat, there will also be:
🧘 daily teachings
🧘 guided meditations and practice sessions with Lama Choedak Rinpoche
🧘special classes including Tibetan Butter Sculpture Art taught by Lama Norbu Tsering of Tharlam Monastery.

All the events at SIBA Retreat Centre require bookings for catering and accommodation purposes.
