Friday, 21 August until Sunday, 23 August 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Following the International Summer Festival that will be live-streamed from Manjushri KMC, UK, visiting teacher Gen Kelsang Gomlam will lead a special weekend retreat based on the teachings and commentaries received at the Festival.

The weekend consists of 3 events:
