About the course:
In this special day retreat our Resident Teacher, Kelsang Luma will guide simple yet profound meditations that lead you deep into the stillness of your own mind. Dive into the silence and clarity of your own mind and experience the tranquility of the mind’s pure nature. Keeping silence will also allow you to experience a deeper level of inner peace and stillness. Then you can carry this inner stillness back into your daily life.
This day retreat will include short guided meditations. You will also learn the basics of meditation so that you can establish a successful meditation practice at home. 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. The period of silence will begin at 10am and finish at 3.30pm. This course is suitable for everyone – beginners and advanced.
