OUR CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

Building a Place of Peace for Everyone

Green Tara Retreat is a charitable initiative inspired by the vision of Khenpo Jamyang Lekshey, a senior teacher of the Sakya tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and founder of the Sakya Centre in Dehradun, India.

Working in partnership with the Tibetan Sakya Trust, our goal is to establish a permanent retreat centre in the United Kingdom where Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike can discover practical methods for cultivating peace of mind, emotional resilience and genuine wellbeing.

In a world increasingly shaped by stress, anxiety and constant distraction, the retreat will offer meditation, mindfulness and authentic Buddhist teachings in a welcoming environment for people of all backgrounds. Whether you are seeking personal growth, spiritual practice or simply a place to slow down and reconnect, Green Tara Retreat will provide a space for reflection, learning and transformation.

By supporting this project today, you are helping create a lasting sanctuary where future generations can access authentic Buddhist wisdom and benefit from teachings that have guided people for centuries.
