September 2024 – Park Place

Following the highly successful previous September retreats, we are very happy to announce that this year there will be another retreat of the same length, so as to fit in with working patterns for many of you. The retreat will begin at teatime on Thursday 5th and finish after lunch on Sunday 8th.

Everyone who has been on these retreats has felt the profound benefits and this time we shall again have an extended opportunity to bathe in the nourishing value of deep rest while enjoying deeper, clearer meditations. In addition, we have the chance to explore further the profound implications of the Vedic teaching that lies behind our meditation technique.

On a practical level, these retreats are a wonderful boost for those who are meditating twice a day but also provide the opportunity for those who may have slipped out of regular practice to get back on track. Added to which will be the rare opportunity for a complete chill out, to enjoy the company of old friends again and make new ones, laugh a lot and enjoy the lovely surroundings of Park Place.

Accommodation:
There are two categories of room available. All prices are per person:

• Ensuite single £ 305 for 3 days
