The Next Phase at Padmaloka: Opening a Hybrid Retreat Centre

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Wed, 5 Aug, 2020 - 12:54

We’re on the cusp of another new phase beginning here at Padmaloka, that is the opening of a Hybrid Retreat Centre.

This excerpt is focussed on cultivating Wisdom to transform Anger and Hatred.
