A vital Buddhist practice is to experience ourselves alone, encountering ourselves more deeply, and allowing our practice to develop its own rhythm, direction and inspiration. The LBC has two comfortable solitary huts in the grounds of Vajrasana, fitted with everything you need for a solitary retreat and within easy reach of London. Going Deeper - for experienced meditators only. The huts have central heating, facilities for taking a hot shower, a fridge, a two ring cooking hob and kitchen utensils. You will be supplied with basic dry foodstuffs such as pasta, rice, cereal, tea, etc. Bread and milk are available from a freezer in a store room near the main retreat centre. You will need to bring your own fresh fruit and vegetables and any other specific items you require. There is a general store in the nearby village of Stanton (open every day, but Sun 10am - 12pm). There is a simple shrine set up in the hut, with meditation cushions, a mat and blanket. Clean bedding will be provided. There are retreats held in the main retreat centre most weekends, but retreatants are informed if there is someone in a solitary hut and are asked to respect their privacy. Ethos Vajrasana is a Buddhist retreat centre and we ask you to observe the following principles:
