There is something very special about Winter Retreats - it's a natural time to turn inwards and allow ourselves to simply be, offering ourselves and others the gentle, silent presence we really need. This year we're lucky to have Pasadini here from Glasgow. Pasadini leads regular retreats at Dhankosa Retreat Center in Scotland and has taught meditation and buddhism for many years.
The registration for this retreat is now closed, but it's possible spaces will open up so please email us (info@sfbuddhistcenter.org) if you would be able to join at the last minute.
