We are sorry to report on the passing of Anjali at 5:50pm on Saturday, October 24th at the age of 65.

At 4pm on Saturday November 21 all participants of the International Urban retreat 2015 are invited to take part in a practice of the Metta Bhavana - the Development of Loving Kindness meditation.

Stage 2: Then extend your metta, your goodwill and wish for their happiness, to a good friend

These 5 day retreats have proven very popular and are likely to book up again soon, so if you would like to reserve a place, please book via the website retreats pages: http://www.padmaloka.org.uk/retreats
