Meditation

Why meditate?

The meditation techniques taught in our weekly courses cover a variety of contemplative methods that can foster well-being, kindness, and peace of mind. The meditation lessons offer a unique opportunity to explore and apply these techniques.

Furthermore, these weekly meetings are a precious support for one’s individual practice.

Our qualified instructors Lopön Jampa Norgyal and Lopön Tsering Gonpo introduce calm abiding techniques, such as mindfulness, for beginners as well as for advanced students. Their long experience of teaching meditation in Europe has trained them to the specific needs of a Western audience.
