Registration opens soon! Email hello@casawerma.org to express interest and get notified.

The training in recognizing mind essence is this: short moments repeated many times. There is no other way.  –Tulku Urgyen

Whether you are a new or senior vajrayana practitioner, it is time to set the highest priority for the rest of your life: knowing the direct experience of buddha nature.

This retreat is devoted to recognizing the nature of mind. Trusting the simplicity of direct personal experience, we will touch on the investigation practices of Mahamudra to support the profound instructions of Trekchö, the pointing out practice of Dzogchen.

The approach is not scholarly or dependent upon many years of practice. It is for committed tantrikas who are open to hearing, contemplating and meditating with the pith instructions of great lineage masters, such as Garab Dorje, Yeshe Tsögyal, HH Dilgo Khyentse, Tulku Urgyen, and Chögyam Trungpa.

The atmosphere of gentle discipline will be mostly silent, with ample time for personal study, questions and conversation, and the space to enjoy the beautiful environment of Casa Werma. The region has been sacred to the indigenous Purépecha people for centuries, and Casa Werma itself was blessed by the Vidyadhara and Sakyong Mipham.

Prerequisite:
Participants must have received the pointing out transmission from a lineage holder of the Kagyu or Nyingma tradition.
