A lovely retreat day yesterday lead by Gen Lekma, meditating on the beautiful teachings we learned from the empowerment on Saturday.

Retreat is a lovely way to touch base with peace, reinvigorate your and deepen your meditation practice.

It's even better when you do it in a group so you can discuss and exchange ideas about your practice.

Thanks again to all who attended and to the team of volunteers who made it all happen!

Have you found the loss of a loved one, or the ending of a relationship hard to bear? Has this loss made you feel more fearful of loving again?

The end of a relationship, separation from loved ones, or the death of a friend or relative can leave you feeling devastated – as if you can never return to the way you were.

If you are left not knowing how to let go of this grief, the effect of such events can dominate your life for years.

In this day course Resident Teacher Gen Lekma will explain methods to deal with the inevitability of change and loss in life.

Buddha’s wisdom can help you to learn to let go and move forward in a more meaningful way. Understanding how to accept loss, change, death and embrace the wisdom of love transforms the way to live your life.

You’ll learn ways to:
💚Accept inevitable change with peace
💚Let go of grief by understanding the death process
💚Love again without attachment

We're ready for today's event. Yesterday the team got together to prepare our special shrine!

We decided not to post a picture of the whole shrine yet as we didn't want to give it away until people arrive. Once the day is complete we'll post the photos.
