Weekend Retreat

Advice from Atisha’s Heart

During this special weekend retreat, Kadam Paul will guide us through the much-loved Kadampa Buddhist text Advice from Atisha’s Heart, drawing on the inspiring and blessed teachings from the NKT International Summer Festival 2025.

Each session will begin with simple traditional prayers followed by a guided contemplation, helping us move naturally into a meaningful and qualified experience of meditation. As our mind settles and becomes more still, we’ll connect with a deeper level of peace that touches the heart and supports us well beyond the session itself. By keeping Atisha’s timeless advice in our heart, we can lead a more peaceful, positive life, become a good example for others, and progress swiftly along the path to enlightenment.

Suitable for all levels of experience – everyone welcome.
