Arriving Banbury………………16.04 Leaving London Marylebone 16.00……..Arriving Banbury………………17.06 (Train times correct at time of writing.) If you require a place in the minibus you must e-mail Maitreyaraja at maitreyaraja@lbc.org.uk with the date and time of the minibus you will need a seat on. (eg Wed 22 Dec, 16.03.) If you are arriving at a different time then taxis are available from Castle Cars (01295-264774) who are very near to the station. The taxi fare from Banbury Station to Sibford School is approximately £13 and the journey takes about 20 minutes. By coach If you want to travel by coach, National Express have several coaches leaving from London Victoria arriving at Bridge Street in Banbury, a short walk away from the train station, from where you can catch the minibus at the times shown above. Lift Sharing If you are driving and would like to offer a lift to fellow retreatants, or you would like a lift, you might like to use Freewheelers (www.freewheelers.co.uk). This is a good way to share travel costs, meet other retreatants and reduce traffic. It is completely free to use. All you need to do is register with your name and e-mail address. ‘The LBC Winter Retreat: Visions of Enlightenment’ has been set up as an event on the site, and you can post requests or offers of lifts on there. (The Events page takes a few moments to load). |

What to Bring You will need to bring toiletries, a towel and comfortable clothes to meditate in and a note book and pen to keep a meditation journal. There will be optional yoga sessions on the retreat and you will need clothes for these if you’d like to participate in them. If you have your own yoga mat and belt then please bring these along. The countryside around where we will be staying is beautiful – so you’ll need suitable clothing for going on walks and maybe some boots. A swimming pool may be open for retreatants on some of the days of the retreat so bring a swimming costume if you would like to swim on those days.
Communal living is an important part of the ethos of the retreat, but if you require a single room for medical reasons, or you are a particularly heavy snorer, there are a very limited number of single rooms available. To request a single room please contact us.
A chance to catch up with friends
from the winter retreat. There will be an opportunity
to review how you have been getting on and
consolidate what you learned at Sibford. It will be
a day retreat in London to re-connect and deepen
our meditation. |
