As the foundation for the Vajrayana and Dzogchen stages, the preliminary practices, or ngöndro in Tibetan, have been skilfully designed to effect deep transformation at every level of our being and stabilize our practice. Not only do they prepare the practitioner for the profound practices of Vajrayana and Dzogchen, but they also form a complete path to enlightenment.

While studying and practising the preliminaries, students also reflect on their path and whether or not they wish to begin the main Vajrayana or Dzogchen practices with their respective commitments.

30 April - 18 June 2025. Eight week course with Sébastien Reggiany. For students who have started practising the Vajrayana preliminaries and are interested in entering the ‘main’ Vajrayana path by receiving empowerment and subsequently practising sadhana.
