Dzogchen & Self-Knowledge – Tuning in and letting go of the inner narrative
From August 8-10, 2025 a wonderful and inspiring practice weekend took place in Munich under the guidance of Steven Landsberg, on site at the Rigpa Center and via Zoom. Steven shared his profound knowledge and deep experience as a practitioner in an impressively open manner, and led meditations that enabled us to locate the source of our thoughts within ourselves and try to remain relaxed in this place without being distracted or conditioned by them. We tried to be present for the moment of birth and death of our thoughts, tried to abide in the condition of the simultaneity of awareness and thoughts, we were asked to jump on the speedy train of samsara rushing through our minds and feel what it is like to be a passenger on it, and simply be with what is. During this weekend, we participants also felt how enriching it is for everyone to practice as a community and support each other. And at the end of the retreat, we parted ways with a warm feeling in our hearts and the wish that Steven would please come back to Munich next year!
