Start the first day of 2024 with some silence to contemplate and connect with a deep level of relaxation. Discover the real freedom to be found in a calm and quiet mind. 

 

In this short guided meditation retreat, Gen Kelsang Chokyi will guide meditations that help us be clear and stable about our spiritual aspirations for the new year. Normally, we focus our new year resolutions on external endeavors; in this retreat, we will focus on positive, mental change.

​

The retreat is suitable for all meditation levels, including beginners who wish to get some experience of a silent retreat. It includes guided meditations, short teachings as well as a written Q&A in the last session. Everyone can benefit from this retreat — you don't have to be Buddhist to participate.
 

You can to register online or in person at KMC Bloomington's reception.
