Om denna retreat

What happens at the time of death? How can we prepare ourselves for this inevitable moment? And how can we support others through it?

Drawing on Tibetan Buddhist teachings, this retreat offers a practical and compassionate exploration of the process of death, the intermediate state, and rebirth. Rather than avoiding the topic, we learn to approach it with openness and curiosity—recognizing that by understanding death, we gain a deeper appreciation of life.

Through teachings, guided meditations, and group discussions, you will learn how to prepare inwardly for death, live more consciously in the present, and support others with care and presence at the end of life.

This retreat also offers space to reflect on what truly matters—helping to resolve inner and outer conflicts, and to cultivate qualities such as compassion, stability, and wisdom. By becoming familiar with these teachings, we can begin to reduce fear and develop confidence in facing life’s transitions.

Special Practice: Lhabab Duchen

On Sunday afternoon, you are warmly invited to join a special Lhabab Duchen practice with light offerings (separate event).

Lhabab Duchen is one of the four great Buddhist holy days, commemorating the Buddha’s descent from the heavenly realm of Tushita back to Earth. It is considered a particularly powerful time for practice, when the results of positive actions are greatly multiplied.

This retreat is open to all who wish to explore these essential questions in a meaningful and supportive environment.

Nobody should be turned away from Dharma activities due to financial reasons. If the suggested contribution feels too much for you, please let us know ([email protected]) and we’ll see how we can help.
