Festivals are a spiritual holiday like no other. They give us an opportunity to step away from the busyness of daily life and to make time for our inner spiritual development for a concentrated period of time. In this way we accelerate our meditation practice, deepening our understanding and experience in a relatively short period of time.

The Festivals were designed by a Buddhist meditation master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, and attract thousands of people yearly.

The Spring Festival is set in the beautiful location of the Lake District in the UK with many nearby visitor attractions, so it is also possible to combine a spiritual Festival with a family holiday.

Everybody welcome!
