RETREAT—Summer Retreat with Honored Guest His Holiness the 34th Menri Trizin and with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

Clear Light, Natural Mind: Dzogchen Summer Retreat
June 26 – July 11, 2026 | Serenity Ridge Retreat Center, VA

Spend two weeks deepening your Dzogchen practice with His Holiness the 34th Menri Trizin Rinpoche and Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Explore the nature of mind, receive guidance on clearing obstacles to meditation, and practice Trekchöd (Cutting Through) and Tögal (Direct Crossing) in a supportive retreat environment.

Special Highlight: During the first week of the retreat, Rinpoche will offer direct pointing-out instructions, introducing the Nature of Mind. This is a rare opportunity to receive traditional pointing out instructions from a dzogchen master. In addition, Rinpoche has graciously accepted our request for him to offer an empowerment (wang). Rinpoche will bestow the Rigpa Tsal Wang (empowerment of the dynamic energy of awareness) from the Zhang Zhung Nyengyü Bon Dzogchen tradition (The Oral tradition of Zhang Zhung).

This retreat supports lasting clarity, presence, and connection to the living Dzogchen lineage, whether you are stabilizing glimpses of recognition or deepening long-term practice.

This is a unique opportunity to receive in-depth guidance from accomplished masters and connect with the living Dzogchen lineage in an open-hearted and welcoming community.

There are four different options to join us:

Weekend: June 26th to 28th

The first full week: June 26th to July 4th

The second week: July 4th to 11th

The full retreat: June 26th to July 11th
