About Bodhi Training

Bodhi Training is an experiment, integrating traditional wisdom with a contemporary educational format. It does not promote competition and profit, but rather evolves around spirit and the co-development of compassionate communities – because genuine care makes us more intelligent and insightful. With this focus, studying as a group is often extremely helpful. In response to this Gomde UK at Lindholme Hall offer our residential weekend options for participants who wish to follow the teachings and practice together, developing the support of sangha as we move through the course.

“Interrupt the dualistic mind, so that you are at peace, in a way of being that is more and more open, effortless and light. We all need this form of lightness and spaciousness in life. Let a kindness that gives space be your natural atmosphere.”
