Peaceful Mind, Peaceful Life, Peaceful World | Thur 24 Dec - Sun 27 Dec

Christmas Retreat with Gen-la Kelsang Khyenrab

Day passes are available.

A deep mid-winter resting and refreshing retreat for the Christmas season to relax and enjoy like-minded company. There will be instruction in basic meditation and simple yet profound teachings on how to transform our mind so we can learn to be relaxed and happy all the time regardless of our circumstances.

The source of real happiness is in our own mind. Hence there will be many opportunities to rest, reflect and enjoy ourselves so we can recharge our batteries and be strong and happy for the new year with a new resilience in our hearts.

Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike. No previous meditation experience is necessary. Everybody is welcome.
