Retreat – Live Easy – Moving on from the Past with Gen Kelsang Mila

 

We all carry parts of the past with us—memories, regrets, and habits that quietly weigh on the heart. This retreat offers a chance to pause, reflect, and gently let go of what no longer serves.

Through guided meditation and simple, practical teachings, we’ll explore how to make peace with the past and live more easily in the present. By cultivating acceptance, forgiveness, and clarity, we create space for greater ease, joy, and inner freedom.

Come as you are. Leave lighter

 

What is Retreat?

Retreat means we emphasize a particular spiritual practice.  Gen Mila will give some suggestions on how  to gain the most out of the Retreat. There will be periods of gentle silence observed.
