About us
The best practice is often done out in the world, with exactly those people and situations that upset and challenge you the most. It is not something you can only do on a cushion, and it does not require that you sign on to a particular system of beliefs.
Dzogchen, the Great Perfection, does not belong to any tradition. It is the actuality of what you are before thoughts, emotions, and the story of your life take hold: open, awake, and already free. The Tibetan contemplative lineages have kept the most precise ways of pointing to it. We call this Beingness, and we practice recognizing it while life is happening.
Longtime practitioners from Buddhist traditions, secular meditators, and people completely new to meditation practice side by side. The aim is freedom from the oppressive regime of our own thoughts and emotions.
Timo leads the Tuesday evening gatherings. Wednesday mornings are a meditation with live, improvised music.
