Take it easy. James Low's Dzogchen retreat at Casa la Salle, Veciana (Barcelona), Spain, November 18-24, 2024.

This retreat focused on relaxing our reliance on habitual patterns of dualistic involvement so that the self-liberation of all experience becomes clear. We went through Patrul Rinpoche’s short text Self-Liberating Understanding, which is Chapter 10 in the book "Simply Being"

The Intrinsic is Always Already Present. East Sussex 06.2024. Part 2 of 2.
6th to 9th June 2024. Always already present! Dzogchen summer retreat at Emerson College, in East Sussex, United Kindgdom.
https://simplybeing.co.uk/events/always-already-present-dzogchen-camping-retreat-emerson-college-2024/
“The focus of this short retreat is on directly opening to our mind as it is. Our intrinsic presence is not created by others, by our own effort, or by circumstances. It is not a construct and it is not like anything we know. By dis-identifying with our constructive habits we will set them free to vanish where they are. This reveals our own source of which we are the non-dual display.”
James Low
Organised by Huw Wyn and recorded by Gareth Williams.
