About Dharma Ocean Europe
"Obviously there's something going on with this lineage and this group of people in Europe that is new, it really is new in my experience!"
Reggie Ray, 2019
When Reggie Ray and Caroline Pohl came to Europe for the first retreat in 2016, their teachings landed on fruitful ground. Supported by the Online Courses from the Dharma Ocean Foundation and ongoing visits from Reggie and Caroline, the European Sangha grew quickly and developed a deep sense of community and commitment.
Practice Groups
"I came here to teach you meditation!"
Chögyam Trungpa
We often heard Reggie and other teachers saying that practice, genuine and unbiased experience, is not only the essence of this lineage, but the only path to true liberation. So we hope that this website will over time become a helpful tool for everyone in Europe to find the support that is needed.
Here you'll find a list of local or online practice groups and some guidelines that you might find helpful.
