The Freedom to Control How You Feel | Fri 20 - Sun 22 June 2025

The teacher of this retreat is Buddhist nun Gen Kelsang Tara.  Suitable for new and experienced meditators.

Sometimes it seems as if we are defined by our moods and feelings. If we are in a bad mood, for example, we become a certain type of person and behave in a particular way, but if we are in a good mood we are quite a different person and behave very differently.

Through meditation practice we can learn to control our feelings and moods and change them from negative to positive, and thus control the kind of person we are.

Empower Your Spiritual Life: Meditations on Death and Impermanence | SILENT | Fri 22 - Sun 24 August

with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Tara | open to all but best suited to those with some experience of meditation 

This world has no permanent residents. We are all travellers passing through and the time we have left in this world is uncertain.

On this silent retreat, we will reflect on 9 fundamental truths about our existence that enable us to live more fully and authentically, free from the worldly concerns that consume our mind and prevent us from truly living.

Through contemplating our mortality deeply we’re inspired to prioritise spiritual development, which enriches our life with meaning, prepares us for death, and empowers our mind with a wealth of wisdom that we carry with us beyond death.

This intimate retreat, with just 15 places available, is fully catered with delicious vegetarian meals.
