Visiting Teachers

Meditation into Action – A practice for life

Held by Matt Padwick

Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th November 2024

Nov 16th: 10.30-5pm and 17th: 9.30-2pm

Suitable for all ages and fitness levels, Kum Nye’s simple movement and breathing exercises restore the body’s natural rhythms and calm the mind.

During this weekend retreat, we will experience how Kum Nye can be:

A very effective gateway to meditation

A means to deepen our practice

A support to integrate a meditative awareness in everyday life

Matt has been practicing meditation and Kum Nye since 1998 at Dzogchen Beara, a retreat centre overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in south-west Ireland. During this time he completed two years of closed retreat and worked in a variety of roles including Centre Director (2003-2013). More recently he has been helping to plan and present the public programme in the new Temple.

Matt offers Kum Nye workshops and retreats at Dzogchen Beara, elsewhere in Ireland and online. This will be his first visit to the Rigpa London Centre to teach Kum Nye.

You can book through eventbrite. Booking ends Friday 15th November at 5pm.
