Dissolving Obscurations in the Innate Openness of Presence. [EN-PL] Wilga 05.2026

<p><b>Dissolving Obscurations in the Innate Openness of Presence</b></p>

<p>A Dzogchen retreat with James Low in Wilga, Poland, held May 21–24, 2026. The teachings were given with Polish translation.</p>

<p>"From the point of view of dzogchen, collaboration and participation are much more important than dominance and control. That is to say, we relax and find ourselves within the field of our participation. The world reveals itself as we reveal ourselves – nothing is fixed and everything moves together. The field of experience is responsive yet will always slip out of our attempts at total control. The one who wants control is the one who is already in duality."<br />~ James Low</p>
