Details of this retreat

Come practice Dzogchen meditation with true masters of the Bön tradition!
January 2–4, 2026, Weekend Only
Drupdra Khenpo Tenzin Tsultrim Rinpoche is the abbot of the meditation school at Triten Norbutse in Nepal. He is an exceptional teacher and practitioner, recognized for his deep knowledge and dedication to the practices of Tsa Lung and Trul Khor. Drupdra Khenpo Rinpoche will be supported by Marcy Vaughn as our retreat’s umze, and Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will join by zoom every other day to provide additional instruction and comments on the teachings. This will be Drupdra Khenpo Rinpoche’s first visit to the United States.

This weekend will be oriented around the Invocation of Tapihritsa, a prayer of great beauty that describes and praises the qualities of the natural state.

If you are experienced with dzogchen meditation or this is your first time, you are warmly invited to join us. If you are new to Serenity Ridge, we encourage you to explore our free online course, Starting a Meditation Practice, at LigminchaLearning.com. In it, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche offers clear, step-by-step guidance in the Nine Breathings of Purification, Tsa Lung exercises, and the prayer of Guru Yoga—foundational practices that support meditators at every level and that you will also experience during the retreat.

If you are interested in staying onsite, please contact Johannah at sr.registration@ligmincha.org or Shelly at sr.office@ligmincha.org to be placed on the waitlist for lodging. We will do our best to accommodate room requests.

This retreat will be recorded. Recordings will be available for 30 days post retreat.
