In this retreat we will explore Buddhist Meditations that reflect the midsummer, a time of renewal and abundance, a time of love and expansion, as the summer sun unfolds the leaves on the trees, so can our hearts open to receive Buddha’s blessings and send out the light of loving kindness into the world. Buddhist Mahayana Teachings hold an abundance of precious meditations and ways of thinking in daily life that help grow and develop our capacity to love and hold every living being as dear. We will learn and practice these meditation in a gentle and uplifting way, as well as learning how to dissolve some of our obstacles to experiencing and offering pure love.

Guiding 3 sessions and giving the Introductory Talk and Meditation on Friday evening, Gen Chitta from the Kadampa Meditation Centre in Belfast has the ability to guide you through the practices and meditation gently and clearly, and in a way accessible to all levels of experience. Ian McGlade, also guiding 3 sessions, from Lamrim Kadampa Buddhist in Derry Londonderry, shares ancient Buddhist practices and meditations with humour and relatability.

Everyone is welcome to attend this retreat. Each session will include guided breathing meditation, short Buddhist prayers, a talk and guided meditation practice. No experience or special clothing is necessary, seating will be in your choice of chairs or meditation cushions.
