Post Fall Festival retreat with Gen Kelsang Chitta

Date: Monday 19th – Thurs 22nd October 2026

Description

A retreat on the powerful Migstema prayer, where we make requests to Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa. This short but impactful practice increases our wisdom, compassion, and spiritual power.

Gen Kelsang Chitta, the Resident Teacher of KMC Belfast, will use her many years of meditative experience and calm warmth to help guide us inwards.

This short retreat will be based on the teachings from the International NKT-IKBU Fall Festival. Suitable for all levels of experience, this is a perfect opportunity for those who couldn’t attend the festival to receive the benefit of these fresh instructions, or for those who attended to deepen their experience.

Nagarjuna Kadampa Meditation Center Thornby Hall is located in a beautiful, natural environment. Your en-suite accommodation in The Stables is the perfect setting for a retreat: quiet and isolated, with woodland walks.

To make your experience truly meaningful and memorable, you’ll have full access to the beautiful gardens and on-site facilities, including the shop, the World Peace Café, and delicious vegetarian meals. The teachings and meditation sessions will take place in our serene Meditation Hall, adorned with stunning statues.
