Our complex world can tempt us to spend a lot of time in our heads. During this weekend retreat, the focus will be on meditation practice as a way to savour the uniqueness of each moment and rediscover the joy of simply being.

During this Bank Holiday Weekend of Teachings with Dominique Side we will be questioning what the Buddha taught — and our own ways of thinking — to uncover fresh clarity and confidence in our spiritual path.

This popular midweek workshop with David Rycroft explores how artistic activity and meditation mutually nourish each other. By alternating art and meditation, we bring freshness and ease to our meditation and allow our creative riches to emerge!

This weekend is for anyone who wishes to heal relationships with partners, family members, friends and work colleagues, some of whom may no longer be in our lives.

The Buddhist teachings show us that, at our core, there is an expansive source of well being often described as our ‘fundamental goodness’. Understanding the mind and its true nature is the way for us to discover and experience this goodness and the wisdom we inherently possess.

Deep Listening is a complete practical training using the transformational method of Awareness Centred Deep Listening Training founded by Rosamund Oliver, which harnesses the life-changing potential of bringing simple awareness to listening.

Skills training in the contemplative-based approach to end-of-life care for health and social care professionals, spiritual care providers, doulas and volunteers.

Grief is a natural response to the ongoing loss we experience when someone close to us dies. In this retreat, using meditation and reflections, we will explore ways to be with our sorrow and to understand change and impermanence.

This retreat is specifically designed for those with some experience of meditation, willing to commit to an intensive practice retreat including several days in silence.
