1/4 Taking your ease where you are always welcome. [EN-PT-ES] Sintra 08.2026
Part 1 of 4 from the Dzogchen retreat with James Low, "Taking your ease where you are always welcome," held 1st-12th August 2026 at Casa de Exercícios de Santo Inácio, Colares, in Sintra, Portugal. The teachings were given with consecutive translation into Portuguese and Spanish.
James writes: "We will focus on opening to our minds as they actually are, free of conceptual covering. We will meditate, communicate and participate in various activities bring us ever-closer to the here-and-now.
The retreat will have a new style of timetable with James teaching in the morning and then in the afternoon there will be small practice groups and a range of activities such as drama and movement led by experienced sangha members. This is designed to both make James's work easier and to encourage active participation in learning."
