Come and discover meditation at the Dechen Choling Shambhala Centre, near Limoges. A free day open to everyone, one Sunday of each month, from 10am to 5pm.

Programme

The day is a mixture of meditation, taught sessions and group discussion.

  • Morning: instruction and practice, questions and discussion
  • Afternoon: sitting meditation, contemplative practice, walking meditation in the grounds of the chateau.

The programme is led by a Shambhala teacher and a meditation instructor and is organized by volunteers from our Limousin meditation group. Taught in French. No translation.

People who are new to mindfulness will be offered meditation instruction. Newcomers will be practicing alongside more experienced meditators and members of the Dechen Choling staff.
