Online Retreat – Foundations of Buddhist practice
Welcome to an online meditation retreat with Stephan Pende Wormland arranged by Föreningen för Tibetansk Buddhism i Göteborg (FFTB). Participating in this retreat is a powerful way to explore and deepen your meditation practice, recharge your batteries, and meet yourself.
There will also be a daily yoga session led by Helen Persson. You don’t need any experience with yoga. Everyone can participate. You will also get a mp3 file from Helen with a yoganidrapractice to do whenever you want.
The schedule has plenty of breaks, which makes it possible for your own reflections, go on walks, and attend to your daily chores. There will be space for questions and discussions during the meditation sessions.
It is only possible to register for the whole retreat. We will use the Zoom video conferencing app. The link will be sent to you. The retreat is suitable for beginners who are interested in Buddhist meditation but experienced students will benefit as well. The teachings and guided practices are based on the book series “Foundation of Buddhist Thought” by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Venerable Thubten Chodron.
