The Power of Love Retreat
30 Oct – 1 Nov
with Gen Kelsang Osung
The perfect island getaway – suitable for beginners
Join us for our first ever retreat on the Isle of Arran, a short journey from Glasgow.
Set in stunning scenery, as soon as you step on the boat you can begin to relax and unwind.
About the Retreat
Everyone wants to be happy and to have good relationships with others and the best way to fulfil these wishes is to train in loving kindness. We all have some experience of love, but we may not realise how easy it is to cultivate and grow pure love in our hearts through meditation.
During this retreat we will be guided to develop authentic and powerful love for others in meditation.
Between meditations you can enjoy walking in the hills or by the shore, taking in the views as you continue your contemplations.
Then you can return home refreshed, recharged and with new methods to solve your daily problems, improve your relationships and find inner peace.
