26 sept – 3 Oct | led by Sona + Khemabandhu
In 1962, ten years after Bhante’s first encounter with Padmasambhava, he was introduced to the visualisation practice by Kachu Rimpoche. In performing this sadhana and devoting ourselves to the Greatly Precious Guru, we open ourselves up to the strangely familiar, and infinitely mysterious Lotus-Born and enter into the magical display of openness and appearance: simple, direct, profound and leading to the total transformation of our body, speech and mind. During this retreat we’ll celebrate Padmasambhava Day.
This retreat will take place in the small Padmasambhava shrine with the impressive rupa that Srisambhava and Prakasha donated in 2023. Places on this retreat are very limited.
Reception is from 4pm on the day of arrival, with the retreat beginning with supper at 6pm.
While you’re here you will be participating in communal life. This includes meditating with everyone on site in the main shrine room in the morning, taking part in daily tasks and at the end of your retreat you will help us to prepare the retreat centre for the next group to join us.
With this in mind, the retreat will finish after the clear-up, so if travelling on public transport, please book a train after 11am.
Single rooms in the female accommodation are fully booked. Please contact to office to be added to the waiting list.
