Meditation retreat weekends
An opportunity to relax and enjoy the peace of your own mind.
Manjushri KMC's Meditation Weekend Retreats provide a wonderful opportunity to take a break from our busy lives and to relax and unwind ... a truly peaceful break in the country.
Each meditation retreat consists of guided meditations, teachings and discussion. There is also time for walks in the surrounding countryside, meeting like-minded people, or just enjoying the peace and quiet.
What is a retreat?
During retreat we temporarily withdraw from our usual routines and activities, and learn how to relax and develop peaceful, positive minds through meditation. In this way we create space in our mind and develop a fresh perspective on life. Many people find that the meditations they learn during such a meaningful holiday bring great and long-lasting benefit to their lives.
The retreat starts at 7pm Friday night and finishes lunch time on Sunday. Course fees and accommodation for two nights: £70 – £110, including all meals; and non-resident £40 including lunch. For further information on accommodation and course fees please click on the link. Please book in advance.
