You are warmly invited to join us for a few days meditation retreat with visiting Teacher Gen Kelsang Losel where we can learn how to meditate or improve/brush up on our meditation skills.
We will learn to relax our body and mind, how to set a positive and beneficial intention and how to practice contemplation and concentration.
Gullnäsgården is wonderful place by the sea on Tjärnö, in northern Bohuslän near Strömstad, next to the Kosterhavet Marine National Park.
The goal is to develop a joyful, practical and relaxed meditation practice that we can continue at home. In this way we can experience the many benefits of meditation throughout our life. In most sessions Gen Losel will give a short talk and guide two meditations.
There will be enough time between sessions to enjoy the beautiful nature at Tjarnø and go for walks.
To help us concentrate on our inner practice we will maintain silence in the mornings until lunch.
