Past events – a selection
Some years do a fair bi of teaching, others are more quiet. To give you an idea here is a bit of what has happened in the last few years.
In 2024, I again had a fair bit of activities with Vajraloka, leading some retreats and supporting others. (To give you an idea, I was leading / co-leading two retreats: 9-15 March, Online Retreat with Tejananda, 7-14 June Opening to Life in person at Vajraloka. And on the team supporting the regulars Brahma Vihara Retreat 9-18 Feb and the 3 week Entering the Mandala Retreat 4-25 Oct Order retreat with Prakasha).
In the spring I was part of the team running our Online GFR Weekend for Mainland Europe, 19-21 April, I led a few weekend retreats and I was delighted to also support Vessantara on the Diamond Sutra Retreat 24 april- 3 May at Adhisthana. I also travelled to UK later to participate in the Buddhafield Festival in July and there do some Dharma Teaching for regulars, meditation teaching for teenagers as well as invidiuel 1-1 sessions with guidance on personal meditation practice.
In 2023 I was travelling to rather different places, which was such a privilegie. Incredibly different cultures, but people are lovely wherever you go and very serious about taking their Dharma and meditation practice deeper. From leading the Estonian Summer Retreat, and a GFR retreat for the Norwegian Sangha, to again be quite involved with the wonderful Vajraloka in Wales, where I co-led a couple of in person retreats and a couple of online retreats (some with Rijumitra, some with Tejananda). And as usual several weekend retreats and workshops in Denmark, plus some online events.
2022 saw me do a workshop in Berlin, several retreats in Vajraloka, some in Denmark. And a fair bit more, but this gives you an idea….
