Spiritual Ecology Retreat - 1st-5th June 2022 - Facilitated by Annick Nevejan and Flo Scialom - English language only

"We are no different from Nature, Wind, Sun, Earth, Water, ...

All our issues in the modern world come from disconnection from Nature. We see ourselves as separate from Her.

During this retreat, we are coming back into relationship with the sacredness of Life."

Maaike Boumans, Associate Fellow Spiritual Ecology at St. Ethelburga’s Center for Reconciliation and Peace.

L'engagement de Sa Sainteté le Karmapa pour la cause environnementale / His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa is committed to the environmental cause

From 1st to 5th June 2022, Kagyu Samye Ling Belgium and Lama Rinchen host a Spiritual Ecology Retreat with retreatants from Netherlands. This is a good opportunity to remind that His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa and Kagyu Centres support the environmental cause. We are glad to support this initiative and host these young people who wish for a world that is not driven by materialism and greed, but who, on the opposite, wish for a planet rooted in the spiritual values of interconnectedness, service, stewardship, and reverence for nature.
