It is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization established to help preserve his teachings and transmission for the future, and to strengthen practice by working together. The Northern California Community organizes group practices on an ongoing basis. These ongoing practices enable participants to develop and integrate the teaching into daily life and to support each other in practice. Anyone who has received or intends to receive transmission from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche is welcome to participate and learn.
The West Coast Community is linked to the Dzogchen Community of America, Tsegyalgar, The original seat of the Dzogchen Community in North America, located in Conway Massachusetts; and Tsegyalgar West, in Baja Sur, Mexico, and the International Dzogchen Community.

Notes and Events:
Located on 23 acres in a quiet rural setting in inland North San Diego County under historic hundred-years-old California Oaks, Hidden Valley Zen Center is a place for the inner spiritual quest, using the forms of Rinzai Zen, which emphasizes the practice of zazen, including work with koans. Zazen means "sitting meditation," but it also includes meditation in action. Sussokukan (a traditional breath practice), the "Questioning Breath," and koan work--all specific zazen practices--are taught at HVZC.
We offer daily sittings and instructions, Introductory Workshops, Retreats (Sesshin) of various lengths, residential training and special events, all of which you can find here: http://hvzc.org/calendar.html
The central core of practice at Hidden Valley Zen Center is susok'kan, also known as the Extended OutBreath, which can be done non-denominational. Even for koan-practice students, susok'kan is still the basis of practice. A simple yet challenging practice requiring patience and perseverance and very effective to help deepening ones state of mind (samadhi).
