Quiet Mind | Saturday 6th June | 10am-5pm

Silent Day Retreat
with Maria Healey

Step out of the busyness of daily life and enter a space of stillness, clarity, and inner peace.

This gentle day retreat offers the rare opportunity to enjoy silence—not as an absence, but as a presence: a quiet, supportive environment where the mind can naturally settle and become clear. Guided by simple, practical meditations drawn from the Kadampa Buddhist tradition, you will learn how to let go of distractions, release inner tension, and connect with a deeper sense of calm and wellbeing.

Throughout the day, we will observe silence, allowing the mind to rest without the usual pull of conversation and noise. In this peaceful atmosphere, meditation becomes easier, insights arise more naturally, and a quiet joy begins to grow from within.

No previous experience is needed. Whether your mind feels busy, overwhelmed, or simply in need of rest, this retreat will help you return to a place of balance and inner strength.

Come and discover the clarity and peace of a quiet mind.
