Virtual Retreat
A “Virtual Retreat” is similar to an online course, however, it’s much deeper and focuses on meditation. This time out gives space and energy to evaluate our every day dharma practice.
All retreats will be led by precious spiritual guide Gen Namgyel-la
Recordings will be provided by email for all participants after retreat, for their personal use only.
