The first half of 2023

We can only make our schedule in 6-month blocks since we are limited by teacher availability, and we also plan our courses around the local teaching dates of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (we do NOT organise these teachings, please see HHDL’s own website for futher information) and so we must wait until HHDL’s teaching schedule is announced and finalized.

Therefore, the schedule for the first half of 2023 (February – June) will be published in September 2022. This is also when registration for our courses and group retreats will open.

Meanwhile for a general guideline on what to expect, please refer to this page as well as FAQs > When to Visit.

Remember that we are always closed in December & January for our annual Winter Break.

Keep an eye on this calendar for more information, and please use our website as your first source of information for course dates and information.

We are very attentive to keeping our website updated and publish any changes here as soon as we have any courses or events confirmed. If you email us to ask for information, we won’t be able to tell you anything more than you’d find here (so if it’s not on the calendar, that means we don’t know yet!).

Many thanks for your patience and understanding!
