About the course:
This is a very special opportunity to develop and improve your mindfulness in meditation, and to learn how to use mindfulness in everyday life. You will also experience the deep inner peace that comes from a concentrated mind.
This silent half day retreat will include guided meditations and detailed instructions on training in mindfulness. Our Resident Teacher, Kelsang Luma will guide three short meditation sessions to help lead the mind to a state of deep concentration and peace. The environment of Kalpa Bhadra Buddhist Centre is very relaxing and there is plenty of time between retreat sessions to go for a walk, read and contemplate in silence. You’ll even have the option to securely put away your phone to help stop distractions!
This course is suitable for all levels of experience.
