Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism Retreat Dharamshala

This retreat is for women with an interest in Buddhist Philosophy,
Tibetan Culture and in living a Meaningful Life

Imagine a week in the foothills of the Himalayas, in the home of His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama, surrounded by beautiful nature, eating delicious vegetarian Indian food, engaging in workshops and classes about Buddhism, practicing yoga and meditation, swimming, hiking, shopping, relaxing, dreaming, being, just imagine ……..

There’s something so liberating about stepping outside of your life for a moment
waking up in a new land, excited for the adventure
learning a new philosophy, being intellectually and spiritually stimulated
building new connections with yourself and others
being fully present to a new culture
breathing deeply into your heart centre and allowing space and light to enter
moving your body in gentle, restorative and healing ways
taking quiet time to reflect
capturing memories and life lessons that last a lifetime
Being new but still being you
