SUMMARY:16G L1 | Building Inner Strength Retreat organized by Atisha Centre
DESCRIPTION:About the Retreat\nDuring this weekend retreat\, we will explore embodied mindfulness and universal ethical values as part of the 16 Guidelines for Life Program. The 16G program\, developed by the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom\, provides a simple\, robust and flexible framework for reflecting on the ways we think\, act\, relate to others and find meaning. The program provides mindfulness-based practical tools to bring about positive change. \nBy noticing our patterns of thinking\, speaking and acting through mindfulness and self-enquiry\, we can begin to build inner strength which enables us to break through limiting beliefs\, transform our relationships\, make better decisions\, and find more peace of mind. \nDrawing on proven techniques from positive psychology\, social justice practices\, neuroscience and centuries-old Eastern philosophy\, this program offers an ethical\, holistic approach to self-improvement and cultural change. As well as meditation there will be interactive activities and relaxed discussion. \nWhat you’ll learn:\n\nAn ethical framework that inspires more purpose in life and deepens experience in mindfulness as an embodied practice.\nPractical tools to build inner strength which will benefit relationships and embrace community\nA fresh perspective on daily life\, available choices and actions\nEnhanced capacity for reflection\, resulting in more well-being\, emotional resilience and creative action\n\nBookings \nFor more information and bookings\, please visit Atisha Centre – 16 Guidelines \nFacilitator\nVenerable Tsultrim (Carla Pearse) has been a student of Buddhism since 1998\, and was ordained in 2009. She spent several years in India and Nepal learning from teachers within the various Tibetan Buddhist lineages and doing retreat. \nTsultrim has led retreats and workshops in India\, Nepal and Australia on practical mindfulness\, what is spiritual care at the end of life\, and applying Buddhism in day to day life. \nShe believes that most of us can find contentment in our lives\, through understanding and training our minds. In particular\, through the use of mindfulness to reflect on and examine our view of our internal and external worlds and how that affects our ability to find contentment and peace of mind. \nWho is this retreat for?\nThis retreat is for people of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking practical tools to bring about positive change in their life\, home\, relationships\, community or workplace. It will be of particular interest to change-makers\, to anyone working in education\, health care and the helping professions\, to Yoga\, embodiment & mindfulness teachers\, to coaches and mentors and to those with an interest in corporate and organisational well being.

SUMMARY:Osez le Moment Présent !
DESCRIPTION:Week-end pour experimenter et parager la méditation de pleine conscience\n*Please note\, this weekend retreat is offered in French \n\n\nÀ propos de l’événement\n\n\n\n\nCe week-end est basé sur le programme Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC) développé par la Mindfulness Association (Royaume-Uni). Vous découvrirez comment les pratiques de pleine conscience peuvent vous aider à mieux gérer le stress\, développer votre résilience face aux défis de la vie et cultiver une attitude de bienveillance envers vous-même et les autres. \nCe stage est avant tout expérientiel. À travers des méditations guidées\, des temps de réflexion et des échanges\, vous découvrirez une approche laïque de la pleine conscience fondée sur la compassion\, ainsi que des outils simples et concrets pour intégrer ces pratiques dans votre quotidien. \nTout ce dont vous avez besoin est un esprit ouvert et de la curiosité. Nous arrivons souvent avec des attentes et des objectifs ; pourtant\, la pleine conscience nous invite à accueillir l’expérience telle qu’elle se présente\, instant après instant. \nLes thèmes sont : \n\n Commencer là où nous sommes\nLe corps comme lieu pour rester présent\nIntroduction au soutien de la pleine conscience\nTravailler avec la distraction\nExplorer le courant sous-jacent\nAttitude de l’observateur\nL’acceptation de soi\n\nHeure\nSamedi 03 oct. 2026\, 10:00 – Dimanche 04 oct. 2026\, 17:30 \nRenseignements par email : 16attitudes@gmail.com \nFacilitatrice\n\n\n\nMabel Odessey – Depuis toujours\, j’aime transmettre mes connaissances et mes pratiques. Dès les Beaux-Arts\, j’ai créé des ateliers ouverts à tous\, en lien avec mes expositions. Bouddhiste durant mes études\, j’ai découvert l’Éducation Universelle\, une inspiration qui m’a conduite à obtenir un Master en « Mindfulness et Compassion » en Écosse\, alliant neurosciences\, psychologie et pédagogie. Aujourd’hui\, je propose avec joie des expériences transformatrices. Américaine de naissance et voyageuse dans l’âme\, je vis en France depuis 1992.

Whether we are grieving the loss of a loved one\, a relationship\, our health\, a dream\, or simply a chapter of our lives\, grief invites us to slow down and listen deeply to our hearts. \nIn this two-hour workshop\, Claudia gently explores how grief\, grace and gratitude are intimately connected. Rather than trying to “move on” from our grief\, we discover how embracing it with kindness can become a doorway to healing\, wisdom and a deeper appreciation for life. \nDrawing on personal experience\, timeless wisdom\, reflective practices and insights from her book\, Claudia creates a safe and nurturing space where participants are invited to explore: \n\nUnderstanding grief as a natural expression of love\nFinding grace in moments of uncertainty and change\nCultivating gratitude without denying our pain\nPractical mindfulness and reflection practices that support healing\nTransforming loss into a deeper connection with ourselves and others\n\nInstead of talking about fixing grief\, this workshop is about learning how to walk beside it with courage\, compassion and an open heart. \nParticipants will leave with practical tools\, renewed hope and a gentle reminder that even in life’s most difficult moments\, gratitude can become a quiet light that guides us forward. \n12:30 – 1:30pm Lunch \n1:30 – 2:30pm Session two – commitments & next steps \nSession: Creating personal commitments for continuing to practice the 16 Guidelines beyond the weekend. \nActivity: Each participant shares one key takeaway or commitment. \nFarewell\, reflection & celebration \nA closing circle for expressing gratitude and saying goodbye \nClosing dedication:  \n2:30 Departure

SUMMARY:Falling in Love with the Future - An experiential\, Nature Based Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This gathering is for the curious\, the weary\, the wild-hearted. No previous experience is needed—just a willingness to be surprised by your own aliveness. Whether you come alone or with friends\, you’ll be met with warmth\, spaciousness\, and good compost for your soul. \nAbout this Retreat\nJoin us for a beautiful\, relaxing\, and deeply meaningful gathering in the heart of nature—held over the luminous days of the Summer Solstice at the serene sanctuary of Land of Joy. This is not just a retreat. It’s a remembering. A re-rooting. A celebration. From Friday 19th – Monday 22nd June \n\n\n\nWhat’s Alive in This Workshop? \nOver a long summer solstice weekend\, we’ll immerse ourselves in the wild stillness and soft rhythms of the land. Together\, we will: \n\nRest in the quiet magic of reflection spaces\, birdsong\, and breeze.\nShare in the collective joy of meditation\, breath\, and gentle movement under open skies.\nSavour wholesome\, nourishing food\, prepared with care and shared in gratitude.\nGather around the fire in the long golden evenings to celebrate joy\, stories\, and seasonal aliveness.\nPractice being human together—with tenderness\, play\, and deep listening.\nThis is a space to unplug from urgency and reclaim connection—with yourself\, with others\, and with the living world.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy “Fall in Love with the Future”?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecause in a world swirling with uncertainty\, we need new myths. New narratives. New ways of being-with the unknown. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll tend the soil of possibility\, and open to a simple but profound truth: Our joy arises from our natural state of inter-being. \nOver these Solstice days\, we will:\nLearn to love ourselves—as part of nature\, not apart from it.\nLearn to love each other—with kindness\, courage\, and honesty.\nLearn to love the Earth—not as an idea\, but as kin.\nAnd yes… learn to fall in love with the future—not through control\, but through connection. \nWho is this Retreat for:\nThis gathering is for the curious\, the weary\, the wild-hearted.

SUMMARY:Loving kindness Retreat - A Journey into Compassion and Equanimity
DESCRIPTION:About the Retreat\n\n\n\nThis weekend retreat at Land of Joy is an invitation to open our hearts to the power of loving kindness — for ourselves\, for others\, and for the world we share. \nThrough a blend of teachings\, guided meditations\, group discussion\, and gentle body practices\, teachers Lou Beaumont and Paula Chichester will guide us in exploring kindness as a profound source of strength and happiness. Together\, we will look closely at what supports kindness\, what can prevent it\, and how we can cultivate it in daily life with courage\, balance\, and warmth. \nShort sessions of pranayama and chi gong will support the retreat by relaxing the body and mind\, creating an open foundation from which loving kindness can naturally grow. These embodied practices will be woven gently alongside Dharma reflections and opportunities to share and learn from one another. \nThemes We Will Explore\nThe courage and strength of kindness: exploring how kindness is a source of resilience and joy\, and how gentle body practices like pranayama and chi gong can help the heart and mind soften to embody this quality. \n\nUnderstanding and responding to others: developing clarity and compassion in how we meet the needs of others\, supported by practices that open awareness and presence in the body.\nReflecting on kindness: recalling times we have given and received kindness\, using body-based practices to deepen connection to these experiences.\nOvercoming obstacles to kindness: exploring what can close the heart and mind\, and using breath and movement to release tension and cultivate equanimity.\nKindness and self-love: recognising that caring for ourselves is the foundation for genuine kindness to others\, and learning how embodiment practices support self-awareness and inner balance.\n\nWho Should Attend?\nThis retreat is for anyone who wishes to live with more warmth\, compassion\, and courage. Whether you are new to meditation or an experienced practitioner\, you are welcome. \nSchedule\nIn person- Friday 15th – Sunday 17th May \n\nBookings \nFor more information and bookings\, please visit the Land of Joy dedicated page

SUMMARY:The Invisible Thread that support Us: a Radical exploration of conscious Living and Dying - a Residential retreat with Bruno Rizzi
DESCRIPTION:Life and death are not separate—they are deeply intertwined. What nourishes one inevitably supports the other. \nAbout the retreat\n\n\n\nA retreat to explore and strengthen the inner dimension that characterizes us as human beings\, recognizing that life and death are deeply connected. We will learn to recognize this fundamental dimension\, to cultivate it and integrate it as a source of serenity\, clarity\, and acceptance\, both in life and at its end. \nIt is designed using the approach and methodology of Universal Education\, integrating diverse spiritual perspectives with experiences from palliative care\, psychology\, and science. \nDuring the retreat\, we will maintain silence outside of the sessions\, and we recommend disconnecting from social media to fully immerse ourselves in this experience of calm\, reflection\, and inner discovery. \nWhy this Retreat?\nExperience shows us time and again that\, especially when death approaches\, we need to be aware of our values\, of what gives us meaning and offers us true support. This also happens in everyday life when we face significant challenges\, showing us how these two dimensions\, life and death\, have much in common. \nThese are aspects of the spiritual dimension within us\, since we are not only physical\, emotional\, and psychic entities\, but we are also part of a much broader and often mysterious context. \nThe purpose of this retreat is to explore\, recognize\, and learn to trust this fundamental dimension that characterizes us as human beings and that we often unconsciously long for. It is about appreciating that we need it and being able to cultivate and integrate it as an important basis for a fuller\, more conscious\, and peaceful life\, as well as for an end of life filled with confidence and security. \nWho Should Attend?\nThis retreat is open to anyone interested in exploring the themes of life\, death\, and impermanence—whether for personal growth\, spiritual development\, or professional practice in caregiving roles. \nLanguage\nThe sessions will be offered in English with Spanish translation. \n\nBookings\nThis is a residential retreat and the price includes accommodation\, all meals ( vegetarian) and the teachings. Spaces are limited to ensure a safe and intimate group setting. \n➡️ For more information and to reserve your spot\, please visit the Nagarjuna Alicante website\nWe encourage early booking to secure your place in this meaningful exploration. \nJoin us on this journey of deep reflection and transformation. Together\, we will explore how to live—and die—with greater awareness\, compassion\, and peace. \n“Death in itself is not fearful\, it is our mind that makes it terrifying”\n-Lama Zopa Rinpoche- \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitator- Bruno Rizzi-\nBruno has been practicing Buddhism since 1980\, when he met Ven. Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche in Italy. He lived as an ordained monk for seven years\, studying at Nalanda Monastery in France\, as well as in India and Nepal. \nFor the past 22 years\, he has worked as a palliative care nurse at Christophorus Hospiz in Munich\, Germany. For the last 15 years\, he has been leading workshops and retreats on the topic “Confronting Death\, Finding Meaning in Life.” \nHe is an accredited 16 Guidelines facilitator and collaborates with Universal Education – FDCW (Foundation for the Development of Compassion and Wisdom).

SUMMARY:A Mindful Heart Course in 4 Modules | at Chenrezig Institute (Australia)
DESCRIPTION:Feeling better starts with living better! \nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nA Mindful Heart is a new course developed by FDCW as part of Universal Education. It is designed to support participants in developing a deeper understanding of how the mind works and how this understanding can transform the way we relate to ourselves and others. \nThe course gently guides participants in recognising and gradually letting go of destructive patterns of thought and behaviour\, while cultivating a healthy sense of self-confidence and a deep\, compassionate connection with others. Through guided reflection\, participants are invited to explore their attitudes\, perceptions\, and emotional patterns\, gaining insight into how inner experiences shape outer realities. \nBy examining the workings of our own minds and the nature of our interdependence with others and the world around us\, we begin to see how deeply interconnected we truly are. The course draws on both logical and scientific perspectives to explore the nature of the self and our relationships\, offering a balanced and accessible approach to inner inquiry. \nUltimately\, the personal transformation fostered through this course contributes to the creation of more compassionate cultures. How can one person influence a whole culture? The answer lies in understanding interdependence. Every action\, choice\, interaction\, and intention affects others and the broader environment. This principle of cause and effect lies at the heart of all life\, reminding us that individual transformation naturally ripples outward in meaningful ways. \nStructure\nThe course consists of 12 modules\, explored over three separate days\, with four modules each day. Each module builds on the previous one\, and each day builds upon the last. The time between sessions allows space for reflection and practice\, supporting participants to pause\, notice their inner experiences\, and reconnect with the heart of compassion and wisdom. \nThere will be plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion\, supporting the integration of insights and offering practical ways to live with greater mindfulness\, clarity\, and wisdom. \nSchedule\n\n28 March -Course day 1 : Modules 1-4\n25th April– Course day 2:  Modules 5-8\n27th June– Course day 3: Modules 9-12\n\nThis retreat will be held in the Gompa\, available to attend in person and online. \nWho Should Attend?\nThis retreat series welcomes participants of all ages and backgrounds who are seeking practical tools for meaningful change in their life\, home\, relationships\, community or workplace. It will be of particular interest to: Change-makers and anyone working in education\, healthcare\, or helping fields; Yoga\, mindfulness\, and embodiment teachers; Coaches\, mentors\, and those working in corporate or organisational well-being. \n\nBookings\nThe suggested donation for each day of the course is $75. However – you are welcome to offer whatever amount you feel comfortable with. \nSliding scale: $35-$75. \nSangha are always able to attend our courses free of charge\, please contact spc@chenrezig.com.au for discount code to register. \nFor more information and bookings\, please visit the Chenrezig Institute page \nFacilitator\n\n\n\n\n\nVen.
