Nirodha Lahti´s daylong retreat will be held August 11^th 2012 with Frank Uyttebroeck.

There will also be a live Dharma talk and Q&A section at the end of the day.  

Here is more about Mr. Uyttebroeck:

Frank Uyttebroeck was born in Belgium, but at 23, he moved to the Netherlands with his double bass to apply his classical studies to jazz and rock music. After a band tour in Sri Lanka, he found he had a growing curiosity about Buddhism the power to transform the mind, and began a dharma practice in 1990. For the first five years, he practiced in the Tibetan tradition to an almost fanatic extent. But this way did not suit him and he started to find his own path. For some years, Frank studied and meditated on his own as he looked for teachers in the Netherlands and around Europe. He sat many retreats, including a three month retreat back in Sri Lanka. For the past 12 years, his practice has been in the Theravadan tradition.

In 2009, Noah Levine’s first retreat in the Netherlands brought Frank in contact with him. Frank had snatched up Dharma Punx and Against the Stream as soon as they hit the shelves. He was deeply drawn to Noah’s approach to the Buddha-dharma. As a result of their conversations about their personal approaches to practice and Frank’s obvious intention to teach the dharma, Noah invited Frank to join his facilitator training in LA.

In the Netherlands, Frank leads two Against the Stream meditation groups – Rotterdam and Amsterdam – and organizes and co-leads ATS retreats around Europe. Frank has also translated Noah’s The Heart of the Revolution into Dutch, which is now published in Europe. While Frank remains a music composer and arranger, his professional life is now becoming more dharma-oriented. He teaches meditation, works as a counselor, gives lectures on Buddhism in schools and businesses, and sits with the dying. Along with fifteen others, he is now in his second year of regular facilitator training in LA with both Noah Levine and Vinny Ferraro.

 The daylong will be held here from 10AM to 6PM.
