Dzogchen Practice in Canterbury

Interested in Dzogchen readings, engagement and practice?

Dzogchen

A Canterbury Dzogchen practitioner is looking to establish a group for like-minded Dzogchen students, practitioners and aspirants in the East Kent area. If conditions permit, I would like to meet in person or online for readings, discussion, social meetings, Yantra and collective practice.

Trained by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, I am non-sectarian and welcome students of all Dzogchen traditions, new practitioners, and the Dzogchen curious. There is a vast canon of Dzogchen texts in English now, so establishing a reading group and/or book exchange might be a worthwhile project.

In-person or online interactions (or both) are possible, so anyone interested in Dzogchen from outside the East Kent area is welcome to get in touch. In the first instance, email me (Stephen) through this website’s contact form.

If you have never encountered Dzogchen, it is a collection of different schools within the Himalayan Buddhist traditions. It has been described as the ‘Great Perfection’ or ‘Great Completion’. Dzogchen practices are sometimes considered the most ancient and direct stream of wisdom within the Himalayan Buddhist traditions.
