Meditation doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. Many of us can feel we are doing something wrong if our mind is full of thoughts and distractions, worries and feelings. If we can simply learn to stay present to all that arises, that is meditation!
Open to all Rigpa Sangha who have already received instructions on Ngöndro.
In this midweek retreat John Douglas will introduce Self Compassion experientially, looking at ways to cultivate a deeper sense of warmth and kindness towards ourselves.
The Rigpa sangha in Dzogchen Beara engages in intensive practices leading up to losar. Rigpa students are welcome to join these practices.
This event has been moved from November 2025 to February 2026 and is fully booked.
During the first month of the new year - the Holy month of Bumjur Dawa, the power of our practice is said to be multiplied many times, so it is a very good time to direct our practice and make strong aspirations and dedication prayers.
Grief is a natural response to the ongoing loss we experience when someone close to us dies. In this retreat, using meditation and reflections, we will explore ways to be with our sorrow and to understand change and impermanence.
