Retreat is for everybody, whether you are a newcomer to meditation, or quite experienced. It provides an unequalled opportunity to immerse yourself in the peace and well-being that we all seek -- and need -- in our busy, modern society.
And every January, Kadampa centers around the world give special emphasis to retreats. Short and long, and for all levels of experience. As our Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Zamling, explained: "Retreats have become a very popular part of our monthly spiritual program, and we give special emphasis to retreat during the month of January; not only does it help orient our new year in a meaningful direction, but it infuses our mind with much-needed peace, wisdom, and joy after what is often a stressful and busy holiday season."
Kadampa Meditation Center Chicago is offering several retreats throughout the month of January. Some last just a single afternoon; some go for a full day; and some offer the option of continuing over multiple days. Feel free to pop in for just one ... or take part in all of them!
