Weekend of Meditation

On 20, 21 and 22 June, a weekend of meditation in silence, guided by Jean-Philippe Gillot and Laetitia Pichat, at the Machig Ling Centre.

For two and a half days, we’ll be cultivating inner calm and presence, in a caring environment conducive to deep listening.
A precious opportunity to find yourself, to slow down and get back to basics.
