An opportunity to give oneself over more fully to the practices of calm, insight and metta
Enjoy a chance to deepen your practice with the support of experienced teachers and a quiet community of fellow practitioners.
The retreat will have a spacious structure, with time to reflect and integrate dispersed with scheduled practices and dharma talks.
Mornings dedicated to sitting and walking meditations with practice instructions, and there will be optional qigong sessions (taking advantage of the beautiful gardens to practice outside where weather allows).
The days will include time to meet in groups or individually with the teachers to speak in private about your practice.
Evenings will feature dharma talks from the teachings, offering us a chance to reflect and contemplate key themes from the Buddha’s early teachings. The retreat will take place in silence, apart from the dedicated question times, allowing us the space to settle into our practice and quieten the mind.
Delicious vegetarian meals are provided throughout the retreat.
