Retreat Experience

II was able to do a one-month retreat in January, and it has been the most significant experience of my life. I found within my own heart a light, a peace that permeated everything. Every moment became a magical experience, where the divine and the extraordinary made everything feel out of this world. I truly hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the same and is inspired to do a retreat in this special place.

Finding peace

The key to your happy life

WEEKLY MEDITATION CLASSES
with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong

If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we will never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be. External conditions can only make us happy if our mind is peaceful.

In three classes, Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong will explain how to meditate, helping us change negative thoughts into peaceful, positive ones. This is the key to finding true, lasting happiness. A wonderful way to start the new year!

Do you feel over-stimulated by the modern world and way of life? Is your phone rarely out of your hand? We all know how we feel when we have lost hours to tech-based distraction, but do we recognize that it is also draining us of energy to live with clarity and focus?
Instead of sinking into a habitual love of ease and distraction, now is the time to take back control of our mind.

Retreat Experience

II was able to do a one-month retreat in January, and it has been the most significant experience of my life. I found within my own heart a light, a peace that permeated everything. Every moment became a magical experience, where the divine and the extraordinary made everything feel out of this world. I truly hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the same and is inspired to do a retreat in this special place.

The teachings were profound, and the atmosphere was filled with kindness and serenity. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking personal growth and transformation.
