What is the BE A MONK for a weekend experience?

Spend 3 days at the ISKCON Leicester temple – a spiritual sanctuary located in the heart of Leicester, and take an adventurous quest into the realm of spirituality – uncovering the mysteries of the spirit soul, thrilling experiences of mantra meditation, reaching new heights of self-development and much more. No amount of space travel can compare to the flight of your very own experience of your inner self.

​

What will it do for me?

The Be a monk for weekend will give you an opportunity to cut yourself off from everyday distractions for a weekend and focus fully on spiritual practices. You will get to know yourself better spiritually, strengthen your mind and determination, and most of all – have an amazing time with like-minded individuals!
