We are happy to share with you information about the upcoming retreat with Namkhai Yeshi at Dzamling Gar.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for newcomers to receive Dzogchen transmission and for more experienced practitioners to refresh their knowledge.

October 15 - 18: The Four Chogshags retreat at Dzamling Gar (in-person and online)

In this four-day retreat, the Dzogchen Master Namkhai Yeshi will offer deep insights and interconnections to introduce participants into their real nature — called Dzogchen — that is, to experience oneself directly, without any kind of intellectual analysis. His teachings, also transmitted through artistic works, do not change the individual from the outside, but awaken her or him internally.

Dear Vajra Family,

In just 10 days, we will gather for the 9th annual Dance Dance Dance retreat at Khandroling, the Land of the Dakinis.

We’ll have the good fortune to learn and deepen our knowledge of four Vajra Dances under the guidance of five experienced teachers: Kyu Kyuno, Carisa O’Kelly, Bodhi Krause, Sarale Lizdas, and Justin Hudgins.

If you are new to Vajra Dance, the first weekend of Dance Dance Dance 2026, August 29 and 30, presents an opportunity to learn the Dance of Vajra that Benefits Beings. This practice is ideal for your first steps on the mandala, and is open to all who are interested, no experience necessary.

We are also happy to offer the second part of the Dance of the Song of the Vajra course, August 31st - September 5th. If you participated in the first part of the course during the Summer Sangha Retreat, or if you would like to refresh or deepen your knowledge, this is a perfect opportunity to practice this profound method of Dzogchen contemplation.

Dear Vajra Family,

We are happy to share this article about the Summer Sangha Retreat 2026 dedicated to Green Tara.

We were fortunate to gather together in presence of Rinpoche and each other and share many rich moments of practice and connection.

Thank you to all who participated online and in-person and we hope that you join the Summer Sangha Retreat next year!

We are grateful to Rinpoche for the sound of his teachings alive in us beyond time and space and for the colorful mandala of the community with all our unique gifts and capacities that made this retreat possible for the benefit of all beings. Featured photo: Doug Doerr

THIS WEEKEND!

Join us for the Cycle of Day and Night practice retreat
with Michael Katz on June 27-28.

You can join in person at the Vajra Hall in Khandroling or online via Zoom.

The Cycle of Day and Night is an extraordinary upadesha on how to achieve the capacity of total contemplation in one's life. Spontaneously written in 1983, it was later discovered by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu to be based on a teaching found in The Upadesha of Vajrasattva, which Chögyal Namkhai Norbu had also received in a dream.

Michael Katz, an International Dzogchen Community Santi Maha Sangha (SMS) teacher, is authorized to teach by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu. He has subsequently taught for four decades in more than 30 countries internationally as well as Harvard University, Amherst College, Tibet House and other institutions and organizations.
