Each year one of the Channel Countries organizes a retreat weekend.
A weekend where there is time for teachings, explanations, questions, friendship and parties.
We invite an international Travel Teacher for teachings, but also provide the possibility to ask questions or get explanations from one of the many local, national and international travel teachers that the Channel Countries have to offer.
It is an excellent opportunity to get to know the Channel Countries, the efforts that we take and to see the common development we make. You will have a chance to find out what is going on in Paris, London, Brussels and Amsterdam. But also in the many other centers and groups that we have.
There will be time to do your personal meditations or to get explanations for your current or next practice.
And yes! We would not be true Kagyu’s if we would not take time for our friendship and PARTY!
There you go: reasons enough to join the Channel Retreat!
This is an amazing opportunity to travel together with Lama Ole and a small group of friends through western Europe’s most famous cities: Paris, Rotterdam, Brussels, London Exeter and Manchester.
you will gain the great Kagyu family experience. It is a unique chance to see how hard our Lama works, how many hours, how many questions are answered and how he remains bright and clear as always when giving his lectures.
We are pleased to announce that the following program has been finalised for the 2013 Channel Tour.
Mon, 21 Oct Lama Ole travels with the bus to Normandie to give Mahamudra teachings at Karma Euzer Ling. If you are intending to do the full course at Karma Euzer Ling with Lama Ole, please register independently here. Would you also please ensure that you add to the registration form that you are part of the Channel Tour, thanks.
Thanks and Good Wishes from the Channel Tour team.
The Channel Project organizes several annual events.
Our “Main Attraction” is the Channel Tour. A tour where you can travel through the Channel Countries together with Lama Ole. Every year the tour starts in one of the Channel Countries and travels in a Double Decker Bus from city to city.
Each year one of our countries hosts the Channel Retreat, where we work together on methods, action and friendship.
But there is a lot more to us: we organize statue filling events, special retreats and we work together by exchanging knowledge and information!
And yes! We would not be true Kagyu’s if we would not take time for our friendship and socialising.
The Channel Tour 2013 is an amazing opportunity to travel in a small group with Lama Ole, from Brussels to Paris and to Karma Euzer Ling in Normandie.
Very rarely is there the opportunity to travel with Lama Ole and friends in such an exclusive group. The tour really gives the experience of being part of the Kagyu family. No wonder the tour is referred to as the “Hidden Jewel” when so much quality time can be spent in our Lama’s presence The chance to see for yourself how our Lama works so many hours, answers so many questions and still as inspirational as always when giving his lectures.

Is to establish a base for the growth of Diamond Way Buddhism in the four participating countries (Belgium, France, Netherlands, UK) through co-operation on major projects.
To develop and establish our capabilities and potential to host major courses with Lama Ole and to organise empowerments and teachings from great Diamond Way Buddhist teachers.
In June 2003, during the Karma Guen course in Velez-Malaga, Spain, the idea was born to organise a course for students of Lama Ole Nydahl from the countries along the Channel. We actually discovered that Paris wanted to organise a course with Brussels, Brussels with Rotterdam, Rotterdam with London, London with The Hague and The Hague with Amsterdam. There was a representative from each of these centres at the Karma Guen course and when our separate plans came to light, we decided to make a course for all of us! We named it ‘The Channel Project’: a joint effort in which English, Belgian, French and Dutch students of Lama Ole work together on the basis of friendship with the use of our combined resources.
Through the activity of organising this project together we aim to get to know each other and learn from our collective abilities. So far this has resulted in a yearly Channel Tour, a yearly Channel Retreat, the start of a Statue Filling Event and the first Channel Countries EC weekend!
Anyone who wishes to offer their abilities and ideas to help realise this Channel Project is most welcome! Inhabitants of the Channel countries who would like to help can contact us.
