Dear friends in the Dhamma,
This year’s traditional retreat will once again take place at the Benedictine Abbey in Scheyern.
From August 17 to September 1
the Venerable Phra Manfred,
Hannah and Mohamed Ahmad
will lead the retreat as teachers.
More than 25 years ago Hildegard started to organize retreats in Germany and to invite Khun Thanat and Khun Kathryn, our two senior teachers and leaders of the International Vipassana Meditation Centre in Chomtong, to lead a larger retreat once a year. Since around 2001, the August retreat has become a regular occurrence, as the conditions at Scheyern Monastery were ideal.
The departure of our highly esteemed teacher Khun Thanat in 2022, and also the fact that Khun Kathryn and Hildegard are currently unable to lead the retreat at Scheyern Monastery for personal reasons, has already brought about change in recent years.
We are therefore delighted that Venerable Phra Manfred, Hannah and Mohamed, who have been teaching at the International Vipassana Meditation Center in Chomtong for several years, have accepted the invitation to Scheyern for the third time to accompany the meditators through the retreat.
This year there is another change in the organization of the retreat: Arthur, who has also been a member of the association for many years, is now taking registrations for the retreat: meditation-2025@gmx.de

The registration deadline is July 17th.

At the same time this year (for the first time!) meditation will continue here at Dhammacari in Sonnenthal. From 17.08. – 24.09. Asher Gal will be in the house as a guest teacher.
We are looking forward for your registration.
With Metta
Your Dhammacari Team
