Silent Retreat Day – Calming Anxiety

Description

Our Silent day retreats provide the perfect opportunity to take a break from it all. The days consist of three 1 hour sessions – containing advice for a happy life and guided meditations.

On this retreat the emphasis will be on letting go of anxiety through engaging in calming meditations and finding balanced perspectives.

The sessions will be guided by our Resident Teacher, Kelsang Lhasang and suitable for beginners as well as those with experience.

Refreshments and a light vegetarian lunch of prepared sandwiches will be provided.

Participants are encouraged to take a break and switch their phones off for the day to make way for the development of a peaceful mind.

I held an event in their upstair space. The space so amazing and cozy. It was easy access to toilets and have access to a small kitchen. The communication between myself and the venue correspondence was top tier 👌🏾
