ONLINE - Compassionate Warrior Training

Vidyamala and team are looking forward to offering this week-long training to become a warrior with a soft and open heart. Drawing on both Satipatthana mindfulness teachings and Lojong mind training Bodhicitta teachings, this is a retreat designed for these times. As we continue to live through all the upheaval and uncertainty of the global pandemic we need to call on a kind of fearless presence, strength and courage within ourselves alongide kindness, empathy and compassion towards all beings. Satipatthana and Lojong offer a magnificent toolkit to help develop these great qualities.

Following the success of this retreat in 2020 vidyamala is delighted to be able to offer this retreat again in 2021. Although similar it will of course contain new material based on Vidyamala’s further reflections and practice, including that gained from a long solitary retreat in 2021

The retreat runs from Sat 23rd at 10.30 - Fri 29th at lunchtime. 

10.30 -12.30 GMT - Morning session
15.30 - 16.15 GMT - Afternoon session (not Friday)
16.30 - 17.15 GMT - Groups (not Friday)

Sessions will be recorded and available for catch up on YouTube if a session is missed during the retreat.
