Enjoy the beginnings of spring with an especially blessed weekend of Buddhist teachings and Empowerment with Kadam Bridget Heyes at the beautiful Dromantine Retreat Centre in Co.Down.
Kadam Bridget has been teaching Kadampa Buddhism for 36 years and has a wealth of powerful experience of the practices and meditations she shares. This is a rare opportunity to receive the Green Tara Empowerment from Kadam Bridget in such a beautiful retreat Centre. She is the NKT National Spiritual Director or the Uk and Ireland and her annual teaching visits to Ireland prove extremely popular and meaningful for all who attend.
The weekend begins with an introductory talk and guided meditations with our local Kadampa Teachers, followed by the Green Tara Empowerment guided by Kadam Bridget, and two insightful talks sharing the Teachings from the book New Eight Steps to Happiness, on how to use Buddhist Wisdom to overcome our anxiety, and learn to be truly happy.
The Retreat Centre comprises a vast stately home with woodland and lakeside walks, offering modern ensuite accommodation and home cooked vegetarian meals.
Everyone is welcome to this special event.
