Natural Freedom: Longchenpa on Enlightened Intent (Online Only)
1:00-8:00 pm Eastern
Join the Natural Freedom Practice Group for an intensive exploration, supported by the teachings of the great 14th century Tibetan master Longchenpa, of what it means to be free.
Our nature is one of great vastness and freedom. As we begin to discover our nature, we come to understand how each of our “effortful” practices has an effortless core. And the path, far from being consigned to the cushion, is every moment of life itself.
This intensive daylong retreat will explore how enlightened intent (gong pa) does not deviate from dharmata (the true nature of phenomena) through close study of Chapter 10 of the seminal root text The Basic Space of Phenomena by the Dzogchen master Longchenpa.

Program Cost
It is Natural Dharma Fellowship’s aspiration that no one be turned away from our teachings because they are unable to pay the full price. In order make our offerings affordable for all who wish to attend, we suggest a three-level fee structure:
- May All Beings Benefit! – supporting access for all and assisting with the care and maintenance of Wonderwell Mountain Refuge
- A Middle Way – covering the base cost
- Held in Sangha Loving-kindness – offering ease when financial resources are limiting
Our pricing options are based primarily on the length and type of an event and are intended to give you an idea of the costs involved. The amounts listed are suggestions. You may write in any amount that fits your financial situation. Any amount offered above the Middle Way level will be considered a tax-deductible donation and will be acknowledged as such in writing.
Access to Recordings
NDF offers unlimited access to recordings for registrants. These are accessed through your user dashboard (information about user accounts will be shared in the pre-retreat letter).
Availability will vary depending on the type of event and the backlog for our precious resource volunteers. Thank you for your patience.
