A weekend retreat, led by Buddhist monk and author Gelong Thubten, focusing on the practice of visualisation. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Vajrayana or Ta***ic practices use visualisations to cleanse and transform our perception of reality, connecting us with our radiant ‘inner Buddha’, our inherent capacity for awakening.

We will work with mental images of coloured lights as well as visualisations of Buddhas. Thubten will explain how these methods transform our minds, bringing us closer to our true nature.

The retreat will provide a combination of talks and practical meditation sessions, with time for questions and answers.
