The beauty of this retreat is that meditation comes in many forms, including seated and silent, during guided yoga nidra, within the long, juicy hold of yin yoga and walking in nature.

Accommodation
The accomodation for our 3-Night Journey Into Stillness is in our retreat house, separate to the retreat centre. Our Happy Buddha House is a friendly communal space with newly renovated twin-share rooms. The bathrooms are clean, shared facilities. The kitchen is home-style and we’ll be preparing your nourishing, vegetarian meals. Other communal areas include our lounge area with a toasty fire-place and a small dining room for meal time and for relaxing. Our beautiful yoga balcony, located next to the house, is our meditation and workshop space.
Please note, we have a very friendly communal house cat so please note if you have allergies. (Sorry!) Also, due to this introspective nature of this retreat we do not offer massages during your stay.
Paused for 2022
We’re taking pause on Long Weekends for 2022. Why not join a weekend retreat?
This 3-Night Silent Meditation Retreat includes workshops, vegetarian meals and simple, twin-share accomodation with shared bathroom in our Happy Buddha communal house.
This is a silent retreat which means we encourage you to experience introspection. Of course, if you need to speak to your facilitator or chef please do… And note, with any new challenge or experience there can be triggering moments so please take steps to always be kind to yourself.
In order for you to get the most from this experience, this retreat is strictly technology free. For your peace of mind you will be able to provide loved ones with a contact phone number should they need to get in touch with you. Your phone and devices are to be handed in for safe keeping upon check-in.
