Buddhist Meditation Retreats
Retreat is a special time when we withdraw from our ordinary day-to-day affairs and concentrate on meditation practice.
KMCA offers formal Buddhist meditation retreats to help us improve how we meditate and discover the inner joy of regular meditation sessions. Some level of experience is recommended. Please contact us for more details about each retreat. Learn more about meditation in general.
