Spring Gana Gathering

-
Hermitage of the Awakened Heart, North Wales & online
Lama Scott Dashon Smith

Our annual spring gathering of Lama Shenpen's committed students, the Gana members. The theme for this year will be "may we gather in wisdom".

Please note that this event is by invitation only for members of the Shrimalagana and Mahayanagana (including provisional MYG).

If you have any general questions email the Events Team at  [email protected]ku.gro.sha@stneve

This event will be held online and in-person. The Autumn Gana Gathering later in the year will be online only, so this gathering is a wonderful opportunity to come together at the Hermitage to connect.
