Friday 16th – Sunday 18th August, 2024
To book your place please see below
In this world we spend so much time worrying about the future or holding onto the past, sometimes thinking that it has damaged us or ruined our life, at other times we yearn for what we considered to be happier times. This prevents us from enjoying life at the moment & getting the most out of our life.
On this retreat we can learn to get a new perspective on our life.
The Teacher
Gen Kelsang Chokyoug is a respected Resident Teacher from Odiyana Kadampa Meditation Centre, Cheshire. With a deep understanding of Buddhist philosophy and meditation practices, he has dedicated his life to helping others find inner peace and fulfilment.
On retreat Gen Chokyoug provides us with a welcoming and supportive environment for those seeking to explore and develop their understanding of Buddha’s teachings. His clarity, warmth and openness make him an invaluable resource for both beginners and experienced practitioners alike, fostering a sense of community and spiritual growth.
The Location
Ards Friary lies within 200 acres of grounds with access to beautiful beaches. Ards hosts some spectacular views. Its peace and serenity have meditative qualities, allowing you to wonder and explore. Ards Country park is next to the Friary and walks from the Friary, extend into it, allowing you to venture even further.
For anyone using public transport we can suggest Gallaghers Coaches who travel between Belfast and Creeslough and include collection points along the route.
