We are all Buddhas by nature--we only have to awaken and recognize who we are and how we fit perfectly in this world. This is the teaching of the innate Great Perfection--Dzogchen. Introducing us to this natural wisdom and compassion is the life-work of Lama Surya Das. For the spring Dzogchen Meditation Retreat, he will teach the View, Meditation and Action of the Great Perfection: timeless and inspiring heart-essence instructions passed down in this contemplative tradition for many centuries.
We invite you to join Dzogchen Lineage Holder Lama Surya Das for a week of awakening to the joy of naturally-arising timeless awareness. Lama Surya will teach throughout the week and offer lively Q&A sessions. In addition to guided and silent meditations, dharma talks, heart-opening chanting and private interviews, this retreat will also feature optional and uplifting Tibetan Energy Yoga each morning.
Outside of the teaching hall, the precious gift of Noble Silence is observed, allowing us the peace and spaciousness to explore the mind, as well as to rest and retreat from the busyness of everyday life & chatter.
In addition to formal sessions, there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the beautiful open spaces, sacred meditation locations, and serene vistas filled with native plants.. Those preferring to stay inside can relax in a lounge looking out, or browse selected postings in the retreat reading room.
Registration fees are inclusive of accommodation and delicious vegetarian meals for this seven-day retreat. Additional discounts are available for students in full-time education.
Registration does not include compensation for the teacher, which will be accepted in the traditional form of dana (voluntary donation) in honor of the teachings.
In our attempts to improve we have simplified the registration process by offering "Retreat Packages". Similar to inclusive style vacations a STANDARD package includes accommodation in a Shared Room. If you prefer a private room (not shared) you may choose to upgrade to a Private Room during the registration process. Payment may be made at the time of booking or you may choose to pay a deposit and be invoiced for the remainder of your retreat fees
