Meeting of 5 large centers – Warsaw, Berlin, London, Moscow and Copenhagen.

Friends, we invite you to an unusual meditation course combined with a meeting with friends from five large centers – Warsaw, Berlin, London, Moscow and Copenhagen.

We meet on May 26th, 27th and 28th, 2023 at the Warsaw Buddhist Meditation Center.
