Retreats are an opportunity to take time out from a busy lifestyle to focus on our meditation practice. This will allow us to gain a deep understanding of Buddha’s teachings that we have gained though our study and daily practice.
During a day retreat we cut back on our normal activities and take time to focus on our spiritual practice. Through this we can gain a deep understanding and have a special experience of inner peace.
