It is the time of the year when friends from around the world arrive to take part in the 1st building up weekend.

It is still winter and it´s already time to think about summer.

“The most efficient, joyful and relaxed Summer Course buildup for years” was the comment heard a lot the last week – and it was!

Last night we were lucky enough to witness this century’s longest lunar eclipse, a so-called blood moon. From a Buddhist point of view, this is a wonderful chance for meditation and making wishes. Here’s why.

The second Summer Course building up weekend proved the power of joyful effort and great teamwork.

Another amazing, powerful weekend that strengthened many friendships at the EC. The Building-Up Phase of the Summer Course has started! We asked some friends to share their impressions with us. This is the outcome…

It’s never too early to prepare the next Summer Course. In fact, it’s about time to start preparing! So the extended core team met at the EC to brainstorm abut how to improve and adapt the course to changing conditions.

We celebrated the grand finale with a panel of Diamond Way teachers from Australia, the US and Israel and a fun Karaoke night in the pub!

We will let the pictures do the talking about how much fun it was and would like to thank all helpers involved!

As every year, the Summer Course team had its first meeting in January – never too early to start planning what’s to come in August!
