Beginners Getaway Weekend Retreat

Creating Space Within - Making a happier life

Beginners Weekend Getaway Retreat

In our frantic world it seems there is very little time to pause, catch our breath and re-energise; this is where meditation can transform our life, regardless of how busy we are. We can reduce stress and avoid burn out by learning to be skilful with ourselves; by learning to pace our busyness, regularly giving a little of our precious time to meditation we will create space within to nourish and support our chosen lifestyle.

On this weekend there is lots of time to wind down, relax and enjoy hearing about, and practising, Buddha's special meditations for busy people. Everyone, Buddhist or non Buddhist can benefit deeply from this course.
