Weekend Meditation Retreat with Buddhist Nun Gen Chitta and Buddhist Meditation Teacher Ian McGlade
Friday 15th – Sunday 17th November, 2024
** CLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR PLACE **
Meditating on the nature of our own mind – the clarity of our mind – we will be guided on a voyage of exploration that reveals our boundless potential for inner peace.
In the process, we will sharpen our mindfulness and concentration, and – given that our mind is the basis of everything we know or perceive – bring about a radical, almost magical shift in how we understand our life, our world, and the possibilities awaiting us.
Guiding 3 sessions and giving the Introductory Talk and Meditation on Friday evening, Gen Chitta from the Kadampa Meditation Centre in Belfast has the ability to guide you through the practices and meditation gently and clearly, and in a way accessible to all levels of experience. Ian McGlade, also guiding 3 sessions, from Lamrim Kadampa Buddhist in Derry / Londonderry, shares ancient Buddhist practices and meditations with humour and relatability.
Everyone is welcome to attend this retreat. Each sessions will include guided breathing meditation, short Buddhist prayers, a talk and guided meditation practice. No experience or special clothing is necessary, seating will be in your choice of chairs or meditation cushions.
The Location
This will be a wonderful and extraordinary weekend, located in the beautiful setting of Corrymeela, on the edge of the Atlantic coast. Your meditation room overlooks the Atlantic ocean and Rathlin Island and the occasional passing school of dolphins. There is ample opportunity between sessions to relax and walk, soaking up this ancient and extraordinary landscape.
