We felt our family building project was going to be a new endeavor and needed a fresh label.

Druk is Tibetan for Dragon (hence all the dragons).

Emilia and I’s first home together is called “Druk Dzong" aka Dragon Fortress.

We also met in a Dragon year according to the Tibetan calendar.

This is not in revolt of our history or some passive-aggressive rejection of our families, but an evolution of the money lenders (Usry) and common persons (Volz) to become leaders in the world to help others, The Druks.

Formal with a flair is the dress code.

Please wear uplifted clothing but don’t be afraid to think outside the box. See the theme question for more details.

Don’t wear high heels, this is a mountain.

Lodging can be provided for anyone who needs it. Click the “RSVP + Lodging” Button on this website.

Food will be provided all of Saturday and Sunday morning.

Please come fed Friday if you are not a part of the rehearsal.

The theme is the Five Buddha Families.

What the hell is that?

Its a bit too much for a FAQ but here’s a link : https://www.lionsroar.com/the-five-buddha-families/

So lets have some fun with colors. Could be a scarf, hat, monochrome suit, no pressure.

-On Friday, wear some yellow

-When you get ready Saturday, have some green around

-At the ceremony, blue would be good.

-When its party time, red red red.

-Phew, its over! Let’s wear white.

When you RSVP, there will different options to jump in and help out.

Thanks for your help!

We can’t make the mountain shorter, but you can…..

Nap when you have time

Drink water + electrolytes (Drala has a gift store that has electrolytes)

Walk around a little

Try taking some chloroxygen supplements a week before arriving.

Chat with your doctor if you’re closer to death than others

You better believe it.

Our address is 151 Shambhala Way Red Feather Lakes, CO 80545

From DIA you can…

Rent a car

Take the Groome bus to Fort Collins and Uber from there

Fort Collins is our city just an hour south and is utterly pleasant.

It also has all of the breweries in the world apparently, if that’s your thing.

Otherwise, there’s a lot of hiking and fishing near by, but not much else. Good chance to meditate in the Stupa!

When you arrive to Drala, everything you need will be at our guest services building.

Keys, maps, itinerary, a friendly person, a good view, etc.

See the ‘Drala Map’ Page for necessary locations

We don’t have any cell service, but virtually the whole land has internet access.
