Join us to celebrate online or in person at The Hermitage!
Our Full Moon Feast will be celebrated at the Hermitage this month tomorrow Friday 5th March at 2:00pm BST (please note the change of time). You're very welcome to join us either in person or online!
We'll also be celebrating Vesak with a light offering and reciting The Samantabhadracharya Pranidhana. Join us at 6:30!
We will especially dedicate the light offering and Samantabhadracharya Pranidhana for our connection with Rigdzin Shikpo Rinpoche who passed away last Friday.
The Full Moon Feast offering will start with the usual liturgy and practice, it will last a few hours. We'll be gathering together with all those feasting online to mark the end of The Formless Meditation Retreat, a joyful celebration! You are all very welcome to attend. If you'd like to come in person, could you email [email protected]ku.gro.sha@egatimreh . This will be a small feast only, a biscuit with afternoon tea. If you're coming in person, no need to bring anything to share.
It will be a lovely opportunity to join together and practise, remembering and celebrating heart connections. To practise and feast together brings us back to our interrelatedness and also strengthens our connection with the lineage.
On Friday: Join the feast and then light offering on zoom!
