Dzogchen Cycles
Why Dzogchen Cycles?
Dawn Mountain is blessed to hold lineage teachings from Longchen Rabjam, Jigme Lingpa, and their spiritual heirs, including Ad.zom Paylo Rinpoche and the late Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche, our teacher for several decades. Especially destined for our era and conditions, Dzogchen teachings are a further blossoming of the ancient Dzogchen Nyingthig traditions, which we practice in light of wisdom writings by Longchenpa and Jigme Lingpa.
Dzogchen Cycles Administration
There are two ways in which you can participate in our Dzogchen Cycles program. The Full Cycles program includes three retreats, in-between teachings and a peer mentor. Alternatively, you may participate on an a la carte basis, selecting individual retreats (which may range from $800-$600), with no option for in-between support. Either way, we ask that you submit an application here.
Full Dzogchen Cycles Program
Once accepted, the full program cost is offered with Standard and Full Member options.
- Standard $1,875.00
- Full Member $1,500.00
These fees include participation in all 3 retreats offered within the year.
As always, no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. If you are interested in the program and need to set up different payment options, please contact Jerri at 713-630-0354 or by email at [email protected].
