Dear Meditators
There is no time like Spring,
When life’s alive in everything,‘Spring’ by Christina Rossetti
Please check out Tisarana’s Spring and Summer Course schedule. Everyone is invited to meet Thanat, the International Director of Meditation, who will be visiting the center on the 10th May. In addition to being open everyday for retreats and groups there will be longer courses offered each month at the center and outside Prague (August) and introduction mediation courses at Žluté Lázně and Bamboo garden.
