Dzogchen Retreat: Revealing the Great Inner Connection

Join world-renowned Tibetan Medicine doctor, yogi, and Yuthok Nyingthig master Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, for a rare Dzogchen retreat.

This retreat offers an accessible yet profound path to Dzogchen, the Great Perfection teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. Rooted in the Yuthok Nyingthig lineage, the program includes teachings on Trekchöd for cutting through conceptual fixation to experience the nature of awareness, and Tögal practices with sunlight and dark retreat. Dr. Nida will share oral commentary from his personal retreat which are currently available only in Tibetan.

Through daily teachings, guided meditations, contemplative dialogue, and experiential practice, Dr. Nida presents Dzogchen as a living path, not dependent on intellectual mastery but on direct recognition.

This retreat is appropriate for both dedicated practitioners curious about Dzogchen and its foundations, as well as advanced practitioners seeking lineage-based clarification and deeper experience.

*The style of the upcoming teachings differs from traditional, academic presentation. What is being relayed is not simply information, but an invitation into a living wisdom tradition. At the heart of the retreat experience, is the presence of teachers, and the presence of yourself, as student. This relational emphasis, and your innate capacity to absorb, question, and clarify are your keenest assets in an unfolding, and at times, unpredictable atmosphere of learning.

* Due to high interest in this program, our reserved on-site rooms have filled quickly. That said, we’re happy to note that some shared spaces as well as camping and commuter options are still available for this event. Please see below a list of nearby accommodations below for your convenience.
