Weekend Retreat With Keren Arbel
“There is no jhāna for one without wisdom, no wisdom for one without jhāna.”— Dhammapada 372
Keren Arbel—senior Insight meditation teacher and Buddhist scholar—will lead a weekend retreat at Centro Siquem in Cercedilla, around an hour by train from Madrid.
Held in English and open to both beginners and experienced meditators, the retreat offers a wonderful opportunity to deepen our practice over a dedicated weekend of meditation.
Keren’s teaching brings together extensive personal meditation experience, deep knowledge of the early Buddhist texts, and a warm, practical and inspiring approach to the path. Her book on the four jhānas and early Buddhist meditation is widely regarded as a groundbreaking contribution to the field. You can learn more about Keren and her teaching here: Protected content .
