Annual Dzogchen Retreat

Ground of Mahamudra & Dzogchen Meditation Retreat

August 16 -22, 2026 Seattle

Immerse yourself in an extraordinary opportunity to receive teachings and practice with Rinpoche.

What is Dzogchen? 

Dzogchen is a direct path of awakening that points us to the nature of our own mind. Rather than gradually building something new, it helps us recognize what has already been present from the beginning: awareness that is open, clear, and naturally compassionate.

Through guidance from a qualified teacher and steady practice, we learn how to become familiar with this recognition and allow it to shape how we live. Over time, the teachings move from something we understand intellectually to something we experience directly and rely on in daily life.

What You’ll Receive:

  • Receive direct Dzogchen teachings from an authentic lineage holder

  • Deep daily meditation practice with Q&A and guidance

  • Intimate sangha setting with committed practitioners

Retreat Schedule:

Starts: Sunday, August 16 from 4 to 6pm

Continues: Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm

Participant Responsibilities: 

Participants are responsible for their food, lodging, and travel to the retreat. 

Lunch and coffee/tea service will be provided daily and are included in the retreat.

Rare in-person Dzogchen meditation instruction.

Younge Khachab Rinpoche is a highly accomplished Mahamudra and Dzogchen master, and a non-sectarian, or Rime scholar. He believes in the transmission of the uncompromised, pure teachings of the oral and textual Tibetan lineages. Rinpoche has studied widely with the top masters of the Kagyu, Nyingma, Gelug, Sakya, and Bon traditions and is known in India and Nepal for his vast knowledge. 

Rinpoche’s style of teaching is direct, warm, and engaging, extensive yet practical. He is accessible to his students and takes a personal interest in his student’s progress on the path. 

We can learn to work with our life so that it becomes the ground of wisdom and insight. In this way, everything becomes an ornament of your practice.
