UPDATED SCHEDULE: January is traditionally the month for engaging in retreat at Kadampa Centres around the world. There will be three one-week retreats at Madhyamaka KMC in January 2024

January 5-11 & January 12-18

Journey to Enlightenment: Lamrim Retreat with Gen Kelsang Varahi 

What better way to start the new year than with a lamrim retreat, the supreme method to make all of our daily activities meaningful. Gen Varahi will guide this special retreat that will enable us to dive deeper with our experience of lamrim.

The sadhana Heart Jewel will be used in the retreat sessions.

The retreat will begin on January 5 in the evening with an introduction at 7.30pm and then there will be 4 sessions each day.

We will complete one lamrim cycle in each week, so you can participate in either or both weeks of this retreat.

January 19-25: Banquet of Bliss

An opportunity to engage in a week long retreat on the Highest Yoga Tantra practice of Vajrayogini with guidance and support in a blessed and peaceful environment.

The sadhana Quick Path to Great Bliss will be used in the retreat sessions.

For Highest Yoga Tantra practitioners only.
