During this retreat, some essential Dzogchen practices will be offered, alternating with listening to Namkhai Yeshi’s Atimonlam. Within the framework of Merigar’s Gönpa, and integrating the surrounding space, it will be possible to have direct experiences of our profound nature.
The retreat is intended for those who have received Transmission from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu or from Namkhai Yeshi; it will be coordinated by Teachers from the Santi Maha Sangha Base, and is offered by free donation, upon registration.
The retreat will also be transmitted online via Zoom platform.
