Courses & Events at Marpa House

Please join us for wonderful teachings, courses and events happening at the House and in our virtual shrine room via Zoom. This month’s online puja details are available at the bottom of this page.

As a sign of respect following the passing of Kyabje Chime Rinpoche in March 2026, the Marpa House programme for the next year will focus solely on retreats and collective practice, rather than any teachings or events.

All previously planned events for this year have now been cancelled.
