This summer, Kalpa Bhadra has continued to reach out, making new connections with communities and students. We have recently increased our branch classes from 2 to 5 regular classes adding new locations in Elora, Stratford, and Creemore. We are dedicated to bringing Dharma to your community. Let you know if you would like classes in your area!

To support the growing Centre activities, Aron Weir has graciously accepted to become the teacher in Cambridge and we will welcome Bonnie McCutcheon and Chris Peterson as new weekly teachers in September.

The Kalpa Bhadra web site has seen the best month of web activity in Kalpa Bhadra’s five year history. This month, the number of site visits jumped from a 877 average to a new peak of 1516! Our annual average of unique visitors of 405 was also surpassed by August reaching 617.

We are looking forward to carrying this momentum into the fall season. Kalpa Bhadra will be offering a free public talk in a brand new location: Owen Sound. We will also be hosting our Autumn Retreat Sept. 25-26. The Haliburton Hills will be alive with colour as a vibrant backdrop to a special retreat. We currently have 16 people registered and we have space for 21. If you wish to attend, please register as soon as possible.

Further in the season, we will be offering a Mahamudra weekend retreat. Mahamudra is a method which uses the mind itself as the object of meditation. In this way it makes it easier to achieve quiet and concentrated minds. This retreat will be held at Kalpa Bhadra. More details to follow.

We look forward to welcoming everyone this fall and working with you to continually improve the harmony and happiness in the community. Thank you to everyone for your love and support.
