Enlightened Wisdom For Our Modern World.
Weekend Meditation Retreat on the North Down Coast
6pm, Friday 24th June – 2pm, Sunday 26 June 2022
Attend in person and stay for the weekend, visit for sessions during the day or just tune in from home.
Today it seems our modern world is in a state of flux, of change and chaos. Our world yearns for peace but seems unable to find the methods to create it. Given these uncertain times it is easy for us to become discouraged, fearful, anxious and at worse fall into despair.
Without inner peace, outer peace is impossible. Our world needs the methods to create inner peace through wisdom teachings.
In this retreat Gen Norden will guide meditations and give profound teachings from pure ancient buddhist origins that help us to experience peace from within our own mind. Guided by our natural source of peace we will gain confidence in bringing this stillness into our everyday life and activities.
We will also become familiar to connecting to the enlightened wisdom contained within Buddha’s teachings and connecting to the very source of these teachings through contemplation and meditation. Looking at our world through the eyes of wisdom will offer a vast transformative perspective.
These methods have unsurpassed profundity dissolving our despair and anxieties and allowing us to relate to our own limitless pure potential.
The Teacher
Gen Kelsang Norden, ordained as a Buddhist nun in 1994. Gen Norden has been teaching Buddhism and meditation in the US and the UK for nearly 30 years. Gen Norden is able to convey these profound teachings with humour, clarity and relatable to modern living. We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to experience these teachings with such an experienced practitioner.
