Ngöndro & Werma Practice Intensive Weekend (March)

A two-day intensive practice and study program for all Werma and Ngöndro practitioners. We create a retreat environment, with silence practice until teatime in the afternoon. Participants are encouraged to bring their lunch and eat at the Centre.

As part of the morning session, there is a reading period during which one can also do some stroke practice. Please bring a text you would like to read and contemplate, as well as your brush. The afternoon discussion period starts with a short Wheel of Wisdom practice. Please bring your liturgy.
