Dear Friends, unfortunately, due to illness we have to postpone this retreat until a later date as Thubten is unable to travel to Dublin. We hope to have new dates soon.

Gelong Thubten has been busy touring with Ruby Wax and Ash Ranpura with the book ‘How to be Human’, and he will soon be releasing his own book – ‘A Monks Guide to Happiness’.

Finding Light within Problems

A weekend retreat providing a combination of teaching and practice. Thubten will explain how meditation and mindfulness training can help transform life’s problems and difficulties into the path of spiritual growth. We can learn how to use obstacles as opportunities for developing the mind.

Topics will include how to meditate, how to apply mindfulness in daily life, and how to increase compassion for oneself and others.

Suitable for all, beginners and advanced practitioners alike.

Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th April 11am – 4.30pm

Suggested donation €35 per day (includes a simple vegetarian lunch)
