Good Morning —
Thank you for your time. I am interested in receiving oral transmission and direct introduction as I am interested long life and healing practices to heal my body (mind and spirit, too). I live in the United States, and I would like to learn more about in-person and online events. Is there any events coming up soon or this year?
Thank you,
Su Wai
Dear Su Wai,
Thank you for your message.
If you are interested in receiving oral transmission and direct introduction to Dzogchen, I recommend attending the next retreat with Namkhai Yeshi from June 19–22, 2026, in Merigar West, Arcidosso, Italy. The retreat will be held both in person and via webcast.
I will forward the retreat announcement with all the details to your email address su.wai@hotmail.com so you can register, if you wish.
Following the transmission (in person or online), you can attend courses and retreats with authorized teachers of the International Dzogchen Community (IDC) on various topics including those related to longevity and healing practices.
For information on the program of in-person and online events, please contact the board (Gakyil) of the nearest IDC headquarters (Gar) in the United States. There are two Gars in the United States: Tsegyalgar East (general Gakyil contact: gakyil@tsegyalgar.org) and Tsegyalgar West (contact: tsegyalgarwestsecretary@gmail.com).
If you have any further questions, please write us at blue@dzogchen.net.
Best wishes,
