Post Festival Retreat at KMC Madrid – La Sierra

In 2021, KMC Madrid-La Sierra appeared. Located just 40 km from Madrid, in the heart of the Sierra de Guadarrama, in a unique natural environment. It is an ideal place to disconnect from the problems of everyday life.

The centre offers more than 55 spacious en-suite rooms, including eight modern and comfortable studios, perfect for solitary retreats.
Wake up every day in the middle of a beautiful forest. The rooms are surrounded by pine trees, bamboo, cherry trees... Each room is unique, no two are alike, but all are comfortable and bright, with views of the mountains or the valley. A floor-to-ceiling window in the main dining room offers a panoramic view of the entire valley, while you enjoy a delicious home-cooked vegetarian
meal, a delight for the senses. In addition to two meditation rooms, there is a library and reading room, a world peace café with delicious cakes and a shop specialising in Buddhist books and art.

Gen Kelsang Tsongmo is the resident teacher at KMC Madrid and a sincere disciple of Venerable Geshe-la for 20 years. Her friendly and approachable character makes her classes enjoyable and practical, so that we can put meditation into practice in our daily lives in a simple way.
