The Walks for World Peace combine walking and meditation, giving an opportunity to meet like minded people from the various meditation groups run by Buddha Land. Walks range in length from a short stroll to longer walks upto 3 hrs that including a break for lunch. On route there is a simple guided meditation that is suitable for beginners and those experience in meditation alike.
Retreats offer the opportunity to gain a deeper experience of meditation than in daily life. On retreat we withdraw from our usual routine and structure our time and conditions so that we can get the most out of our meditation.
These particular retreats give the chance to explore particular practices in depth. They are suitable for those with some existing experience of meditation and are unguided. Explanation of the practices can be give before sessions if you are new to them.
Step back and take a day out of busy life to focus on inner peace and inner development with a retreat at Bolton Abbey and our other retreat locations. Bolton Abbey is the ideal setting to do this, with space to unwind and relax between retreat sessions in the beautiful landscape of the Yorkshire Dales.
Enjoy calming guided meditations and short teaching followed by a speciality brunch at our World Peace Café, and a chance to meet others interested in meditation.
At the same time a Children’s Meditation Class will be held in our sitting room making meditation accessible for young people. The children’s classes include a short teaching, guided meditation and craft activities.

The meditation classes run from 11am til 12noon. Then Brunch will be served in our cafe at noon. You are welcome to come just for the meditation class if you don’t want to stay on for brunch. The children’s class is suitable for anyone under 13 and over 5 but an adult needs to come along as well.
Meditation is a powerful technique for developing a peaceful mind and inner good qualities. The meditation workshops provide quality meditation with clear explanations of the skills required to create stillness within, but are shorter and lighter than our day courses.
A meditation workshop consists of two sessions that include guided meditations, explanation, and discussion. The emphasis is on practicing meditation and applying the experience we gain from it to improve the quality of our life.
Workshops are a perfect way to both relax and develop internally. They are ideal for those who are new to meditation and those who would like to improve.
