United Kingdom Dharma Celebration 2024 – Booking coming soon!
Vajrasattva empowerment with Kadam Bridget Heyes

Date: Friday 20th – Monday 23rd September 2024
Venue: Nagarjuna Kadampa Meditation Centre, Thornby Hall

A special weekend where we come together from all over the UK to receive blessings, advice, and inspiration. At this year’s UK Dharma Celebration, Kadam Bridget will grant the empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva, who has great power to purify our negative karma. Through this practice, we can let go of the burden of our past negativity and give ourselves a clean slate to build a better future.
