Experiential Instructions on Semdzins

Join Lama Joe Evans and the Rangdröl Sangha for a three-day weekend teaching and practice retreat on the practice of Dzogchen semdzins.

Semdzin practice is one of the key methods of Dzogchen teachings for directly revealing the personal knowledge of ones own primordial state.

During the retreat the practice of the semdzins will be introduced and applied together in order for each participant to have enough experience to practice them on their own and in collaboration.

This retreat will take place on October 4 – 6, 2024 via Zoom and will consist of Dzogchen transmission (direct introduction and pointing out instructions) along with detailed guidance on how to establish one’s own practice.

Please use the form below to complete your registration.

Once you have registered you will receive an email with the Zoom link and texts the week prior to the retreat.

The suggested dana for the retreat is on a sliding scale from $80 – $150. As always, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
