Fri 6 – Sun 8 Nov · Nagarjuna KMC, Northamptonshire
Take a real break from daily life to come on a meaningful, relaxing weekend retreat at the beautiful Nagarjuna Kadampa Meditation Centre in Northamptonshire. Through guided meditations and inspiring teachings, Kadam Lucy will share Buddha’s profound wisdom teachings — a liberating understanding of reality that enables us to let go of our fears, anxiety, and limiting beliefs. This retreat will help us to experience the spacious, blissful quality of reality, discovering within us an endless source of peace and freedom that we can bring back into our daily lives. Everyone is welcome — no experience needed.
