Once again during the recent retreat in Merigar West with Namkhai Yeshi, Monte Amiata displayed the spectacle of nature in all its glory. Ranging from hot summer skies to an evening lightning show, the weather seemed to accompany our practice crescendos of earth-shaking, blazing Hums.
We trained our awareness, sounding the Rushen of the Voice from row to row and listening to the Master’s sound compositions, tailored for experiencing the main points of Dzogchen. His birthday and the other joyful occasions, such as Dynamic Space of Element’s fundraising dinner in Arcidosso, the most recent exhibition at MACO and the theatre performance, were great occasions to spend relaxed time together.
The Sangha App communication and translation team took the opportunity to meet in person, making our connection between continents more concrete. Sangha App and its tutorials are offered to you in 5 languages, thanks to their work. It was rare for us to meet in person, and we made the most of it.
Here’s a photo—you might recognize some faces!

Sangha App also provided free WiFi at the Welcome Point to help participants stay connected. Our support team of Nikol and Oana offered assistance, wearing the Sangha App t-shirt. We’re glad to be useful!

Channel for newcomers
Thanks to the growing number of retreats with Namkhai Yeshi, more people are approaching Dzogchen Teachings and receiving transmission.
Sangha App offers newcomers a qualified roadmap for Dzogchen Community practices and teachings. For the last year, the channel First Steps on the Path has been a discussion space for sharing resources, advice, and announcements. We are collaborating with Santi Maha Sangha teachers, authorized by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu to give guidance and answer the doubts of our users in a qualified manner.
You can search for the channel using the lens icon in the upper-right corner of your Channels section, on Sangha App or in “My channels” on Sangha Web.
Share Sangha App with newcomers by providing them with the invitation code!
Love,
The Sangha App Team
