Retreats to connect with our good heart
In late March, two retreats were held - one at Madhyamaka KMC near York in the UK and the other at Tharpaland KMC in Germany. Both included teachings and meditations on cultivating love and compassion. Such retreats are a great way for people to relax and reconnect with their good heart, giving them an opportunity to improve their relationships in a lasting way.
Atisha KMC - Retreat at Madhyamaka KMC York
In March, some fortunate Sangha from Atisha KMC enjoyed an away retreat at stunning Madhyamaka KMC. Our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Chogma, led us in the beautiful, deeply moving meditations on taking and giving, helping us develop sincere love and compassion for all living beings. Meditating in this incredibly blessed and peaceful environment was a delight, especially with the beautiful new shrine! There was also plenty of time to relax in the World Peace Café and enjoy the fabulous, extensive grounds. We hope you enjoy these photos and can join us next time.
Weekend Getaway at Tharpaland KMC - Meditations that connect us to our heart
More and more people in and around Berlin recognize Tharpaland KMC as a place to relax and engage in weekend retreats or getaways. Our Resident Teacher, Gen Ananda, guided a March weekend getaway course on the Four Immeasurables. More than 40 people participated in person. We enjoyed a harmonious and blessed weekend course and received wonderful feedback afterward.
