Half Day Meditation Retreat
Give yourself the gift of silence, a break from stress and distractions. Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike. Please join us for this half day retreat. The format will be a series of short talks, mixed with seated and walking meditation. The majority of the time will be held in noble silence
Finding our inner calm and peace can be difficult in a world full of noisy distractions. Participating in a silent retreat allows us to take the time and make space to hear our own thoughts, gain clarity and understanding, and deepen our relationships with ourselves and others. We are then invited to carry the benefits of silent retreats into our everyday lives.
