Cutting through Ego - The Extraordinary Practice of the Chod

Chöd Easter Retreat at Namgyal Gar South - Cutting Through The Ego. April 17 - 21, 2014.




The Chöd is a profound method for cutting through the ego and our attachment. It is an extraordinary teaching that unifies the essence of the Sutra, Tantra and Dzogchen Teachings.

The way to practice Chöd, as well as the name itself, originates from the female teacher Machig Labkyi Drönma.

Led by authorised Base Level Santi Maha Sangha teacher, Angie Gilbert, this retreat is suitable for experienced practitioners as well as newcomers sincerely interested in the Dzogchen Teachings of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.




The retreat will focus on learning the different aspects of Chöd and understanding the importance of applying presence and awareness - the tools we use to observe the way in which our attachment and ego arises through our thoughts and emotions.

It is through presence and awareness that we discover how our attachment blocks us from discovering true peace and harmony.




During this retreat, as well as learning the different aspects of the Chöd practice,we will also be using various methods from “The Precious Vase”, the Base text of Santi Maha Sangha, to work with our attachment.

Led by authorised Base Level Santi Maha Sangha teacher, Angie Gilbert, this retreat is suitable for experienced practitioners as well as newcomers sincerely interested in the Dzogchen Teachings of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.




The retreat will commence 17th April at 7.30pm
and there will be 2 sessions per day, morning and afternoon on 18 - 20 April.


Please bring your drum and bell if you have these.


Lama Tsultrim Allione (student of Namkhai Norbu Rinopoche) has written a biography about Machig Labdron in her book Women of Wisdom.





Her latest book, Feeding Your Demons, shows how to use the principles of Chod practice in everyday life.
