Why Go on Retreat? Section

Going on Retreat

A retreat is a chance to live in a way far removed from television, tube stations, stress and city-strife. It is an opportunity to relax, refresh, inspire and perhaps challenge yourself. For some it is a get-away from the business of modern life, for others it is a life-changing experience they never forget. A retreat is also a good way to meet new friends. You can deepen your meditation, cultivate mindfulness, and learn about Buddhism.

Retreats are held at our purpose built retreat centre,Vajrasana in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. There are six acres of gardens, a circular meditation room and a newly-finished and spacious lounge. All food is vegetarian.
