About this Event

Enjoy a weekend retreat at Madhyamaka KMC in the Yorkshire Wolds, with its beautiful meditation rooms, peaceful woodland, lake and extensive grounds.

Do you feel over-stimulated by the modern world and way of life? Is your phone rarely out of your hand? We all know how we feel when we have lost hours to tech-based distraction, but do we recognize that it is also draining us of energy to live with clarity and focus?

Instead of sinking into a habitual love of ease and distraction, now is the time to take back control of our mind.

In this weekend retreat we’ll be learning how to improve our concentration and reduce our distractions.

Suitable for all levels of experience.

Come for the weekend or attend the Saturday only. Suitable for all levels of experience.

ABOUT THE VENUE

Madhyamaka KMC is set just outside of Pocklington, near York. Home to an established Kadampa Buddhist community since 1986, it houses a World Peace café, a book and gift shop, a B&B and is a popular place for locals to visit and walk in its extensive grounds. Madhyamaka KMC was the very first Kadampa Centre established in the West by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. It is a place of pilgrimage for Kadampa practitioners around the world.

ABOUT THE TEACHER

The retreat will be led by the Resident Teacher at Atisha Kadampa Meditation Centre, Gen Kelsang Chogma.

Gen Kelsang Chogma has been practising and teaching meditation and Kadampa Buddhism for over 25 years. She brings a wealth of experience having been Resident Teacher in Halifax, West Yorkshire and also Education Programme Co-ordinator in three major UK Dharma Centres, including Madhyamaka KMC.

Gen Chogma was ordained as a Buddhist nun in 2009 by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche and serves as a wonderful example of the ordained way of life in the modern world. She is loved for her joyful enthusiasm and gentle skills in guiding meditations.
