About The Course
In this comprehensive 12-week online class, you will be immersed in the timeless teachings of Dzogchen, a path that unveils the natural state of your mind which opens the doors to countless direct realizations. Led by Lama Michael Gregory this program offers a unique opportunity to learn and practice these profound meditation techniques in the space of your own practice environment with other serious long-term practitioners.
Tsa Lung Trulkhor, the profound yogic practice of channels, winds and drops will empower you to unlock the subtle energies within your body, harmonize your physical and mental well-being, and tap into a limitless source of vitality. Experience the warmth of unified awareness and pranic movement, combined with visualization as you cultivate inner balance and ignite the sacred flame of transformation.
Through Trekcho, the "cutting through" practice, you will unravel the layers of illusion and directly access the pure essence of mind. Engage in direct inquiry and rest in the unaltered awareness that lies beyond thoughts, emotions, and concepts. Discover the freedom and clarity that arise when you transcend the limitations of ordinary perception.

will guide you to recognize the luminous nature of reality. By merging meditation with the visual exploration of light and subtle visions, you will traverse the realms of existence and dissolve the boundaries between inner and outer worlds. Encounter the radiance of your own mind and unlock the boundless potential that lies within.
