Tsik Sum Ne Dek weekend retreat

3,5 days online retreat led by Dominique Side

This weekend is a wonderful opportunity to immerse ourselves fully in the Tsik Sum Ne Dek teachings that have been shared on numerous occasions by Sogyal Rinpoche, and in previous Dzogchen Study Programmes.

Guided by Senior teacher Dominique Side, this practice retreat is intended to help us deepen our understanding and practice of this most profound and important instruction on trekchö.

The weekend is open to students :

Who have received the complete teachings from Sogyal Rinpoche in Lerab Ling, in 2010, 2011, and 2012.

AND/OR who have followed in its entirety :

The Dzogchen mandala study programme from Nov 2017 to June 2019 on Tsik Sum Ne Dek. And/or,
the Dzogchen mandala study programme from Sept 2023 to June 2025.

As a weekend is a very short time to do a retreat, we will ask everyone who participates to create the conditions so that they can enter into silence and attend all sessions from the beginning until the end of the retreat.

Please note that the retreat begins on Friday evening and will end on Monday late afternoon.

It will be held live online for students in Europe.

It will be presented in English with French and German translation, as well as Spanish if there is enough interest.
