Meditation Workshop with Beth Upton
We warmly invite you to a special meditation workshop with Beth Upton, a teacher with deep experience and clarity in her guidance.
Beth was a Buddhist nun for ten years, practicing intensively under the guidance of great masters such as Pa Auk Sayadaw in Myanmar. During that time she trained extensively in the Theravāda tradition as well as in other meditation methods, spending long periods in retreat in caves and forests. Since 2014 she has been teaching and today leads the Sanditthika Meditation Community in Almería.
In this gathering Beth will guide a meditation and offer plenty of time for questions and answers, where you can share your concerns and receive personal guidance from her direct and compassionate experience.
It is a unique opportunity to learn from a teacher who combines the depth of monastic practice with the sensitivity of someone who also understands the challenges of everyday life.
