Clear your mind, reduce the stress of daily life and tap into your own lasting source of inner peace. Unwind in the Yorkshire Dales with meditations for stress free living on this one day retreat.
A day retreat is an opportunity to gain a deep understanding of Buddha’s teachings and have a special experience of inner peace.
During this retreat day we will explore meditations that enable us to overcoming stress, anxiety and other unpeaceful minds and instead to find greater peace of mind and inner happiness.
We also have a Day Retreat, Being Kind to Yourself and Others, on the Sunday. Each day can be attended separately. If you wish to attend both days of the Retreat, there will be a £10 discount.
A packed lunch, refreshments & parking is included in the cost. There will be plenty of time in between retreat sessions, if you wish, to enjoy and relax in the surrounding countryside.
The cost of the day retreat is £36 (Centre Membership Scheme £26) or for both days £62 (Centre Membership Scheme £42).
Our monthly membership programme offers access to all our weekly classes as well as discounts on courses for only £20 per month – Learn more.
