An Evening with the Chair:

A Vision of a New World

We all want to feel happy and inspired, but unless we're growing, we often feel thwarted. Come on retreat at this time of blossoming and renewal, and get in touch with value and meaning. We’ll be creating the best possible conditions in which to practise meditation and Buddhism so we can grow towards our full potential, and even touch the sacred.
