6 Day 'Transforming Adversity' Buddhist Meditation Retreat, Wales

Join the CCN for its annual six-day summer retreat. Our theme this year is transforming everyday life into awakening through profound practices found in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.


This retreat will offer a unique opportunity to explore radical teachings that challenge and transform conventional views of our self others our reality and the adversity we face.


These teachings invite us on a journey of deep introspection and awakening. The text provides us with a blueprint for living with greater compassion understanding and resilience.


Throughout this retreat we will engage with these teachings in a practical way to discover how embracing adversity can become a powerful path to inner peace and enlightenment.


Each day we will explore different verses from the 37 Practices of Bodhisattvas guided by commentaries from H.E. Garchen Rinpoche H.H. The 14th Dalai Lama and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. We will explore how the wisdom contained in these verses can be applied to modern life. The teachings focus on:


  • Aligning Behaviour with Intention: Learn how to align your thoughts and actions with your highest aspirations and intentions.
  • Transforming Adversity: Learn how challenges and difficult people can provide powerful opportunities for growth and awakening.
  • Radical Compassion: Delve into practices that transform empathy and wisdom into the compassionate mind of bodhicitta.
  • Reframing Perceptions: Discover how reframing our perceptions can lead to a profound change in how we experience life.

This retreat is suitable for both those already familiar with the Tibetan Buddhist path and anyone interested in finding a new approach to stress and suffering in daily life. Whether you are seeking spiritual deepening or practical approaches to life’s challenges we hope these teachings will offer valuable insights.


Through teachings guided meditations discussions Q&As and reflective personal time you will have the space to connect with these teachings intimately. Whether joining us in-person or online we hope that this retreat provides the perfect environment for this journey of reflection and transformation.
