Young Person's Retreat - A Path of Connection and Belonging

In the teachings of the Buddhist tradition, the word that is usually translated as ‘meditation’ can also be translated as ‘cultivation’ or ‘bringing into being’. Through this practice can arise a deep sense of belonging and reconnection with life and what matters, beyond all our usual distractions. Through the support of instructions, talks, guided meditations and small group discussions, this three night retreat is an opportunity to be in silence together, switch off our phones and rest, relax and re-connect with our embodied experience.

Our intention is to create a diverse, equitable and inclusive community, and we aim to make the retreat as accessible and welcoming as possible. To support this, we offer optional affinity sessions for those who identify as BPOC and LGBTQI+.
