*The Lama Chopa, a very special, sacred offering ceremony which has never before been open to the public in Aspen, CO. The ceremony is a practice dating back to the 1600s. It is a joyful practice that strengthens our relationship with our spiritual teachers by making offerings and requests to bless our minds with the wisdom they have gathered. During Lama Chopa offerings are made – usually food items – after the ceremony is completed, the blessed food offerings are shared among the participants or may be taken home to share with others.
