Discovering A World Of Kindness

A BLISSFUL WEEKEND AT OCEAN PARK RETREAT CENTER

**REGISTRATION CLOSES APRIL 6TH**

Step away from daily life and spend a nurturing weekend by the ocean, exploring the power of loving kindness.

In this retreat, we’ll learn to recognize the incredible kindness we have received from others — from our mother of this life, from countless beings who provide for us, and from those who guide and inspire our spiritual growth.

Through guided meditations and practical teachings, we’ll gradually open our hearts to see all living beings as our mothers and awaken a deep appreciation for the limitless kindness we have received since beginningless time.

With gentle meditation sessions, peaceful reflection, and the calming presence of the ocean, this retreat gives you the chance to relax, refresh, and connect with a warmer, more open heart.

Return home uplifted, inspired, and motivated to bring greater kindness into your life and the world around you.

Join us and learn what refuge means, how it protects us, and various levels in which we can engage the Buddhist path.

This Saturday class includes the Mahayana Refuge Vow Ceremony, where we will have the chance to take refuge vows or simply gain inspiration on our spiritual journey.

IMPORTANT US FESTIVAL REGISTRATION INFO!
Registration for the In-Person Festival opens Thursday, January 22 at 2pm EST/11am PST.

Registration for the live-stream Festival will open closer to the event — keep your eyes open for announcements!

✨ Early Bird Discount
Book by March 24 at 11:59pm EDT to receive the discount.

A New Registration System:
If you’ve booked a Kadampa Festival before, this system will look quite different — but don’t worry, it’s designed to be clear, smooth, and easy to navigate.

A few helpful things to know:
• The first page you’ll see is the Accommodations Options page. The price shown includes all teachings, accommodations, and all meals for the full event, so you can immediately see the total cost of attending.

Not staying for the whole festival? No problem— you’ll be able to adjust your options later.

• Because onsite accommodations are so limited, most are only available for the full five nights. If you’re coming for just a few days, you won’t be able to book these, but you can choose camping, which has no minimum stay.

• Staying offsite? Simply select Day Visitor at the bottom of the screen.

• The next screen lets you choose your other Festival options like festival dates, meals, and transportation options. Just follow the instructions as you go— the process should be smooth and straightforward.

If you selected a twin or double room earlier, make sure to have your roommate’s name ready – you’ll need to add it on this screen.
