The three International Festivals are precious opportunities to receive teachings and empowerments from the Gen-las, and this experience is greatly enhanced if we can spend some time after the Festival in retreat improving our understanding of the teachings and taking their meaning to heart.

Post-festival retreats are organised by Kadampa centers around the world after each of the three International Festivals. Stay up-to-date with the latest information on the post-festival retreat web page.
