On May 22–23, 2026, Samye Barcelona, Asociación Bodhicitta, and Escola de l’Ésser co-organized the “Fears and Resistances” retreat in Barcelona.
The retreat offered participants a safe and supportive space in which to observe mental agitation and meet their fears directly. Under the guidance of Xavier Puigdevall, and drawing inspiration from the instructions of his main teacher, Phakchok Rinpoche, participants connected self-awareness with meditation practice.
Samye Barcelona continues to offer activities supporting self-awareness and meditation, including two weekly in-person meditation groups led by Xavier Puigdevall and intensive weekend programs held twice a year.
The next weekend program will take place in Barcelona from November 20–22, 2026, with English translation available. Samye Barcelona also facilitates online study groups following the Samye Institute Student Pathways for practitioners who participate remotely.

We rejoice in this opportunity for practitioners to cultivate greater awareness, honesty, and kindness through shared practice.
