Weekend retreat with WLBC at Vajrasana

From West London Buddhist Centre on Sat, 11 Jan, 2025 - 16:40

Become more alive and less toxic, more whole and less fragmented. Retreats allow us to take a break from our regular routine and create more space in both our inner and outer lives. Spending time in the countryside, we can connect with nature and enjoy the positive conditions that arise as we come together as a community, practising together, sharing meals, sharing talks and sharing walks with others on the retreat.

Come to enjoy the budding of spring in the Suffolk surroundings...

Finding Your Roots in Buddhist Community

From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Mon, 30 Dec, 2024 - 21:30
