Post-spring festival retreat 2025

Solving our Daily Problems with Loving Kindness

This Post-International Spring Festival retreat gives the opportunity to deepen the blessings we received at Spring Festival and take the many clear instructions into our heart so that loving kindness becomes our lived experience and governs all our choices and reactions. 

The beautiful and blessed surroundings of Tara IKRC offer the perfect environment to take these teachings to heart and develop a personal experience with this practice.
