Retreat programme - Spring 2012
Each one-day retreat will be a day of sustained meditation, supported by an atmosphere of silence. All the retreats are suitable for beginners as well as those with experience of meditation practice. Guidance will be given, and there will be a talk as well as the opportunity to ask questions. Videos of some previous talks can be found on the news page.
Timings
Registration for retreats is between 9.15 and 9.45am and the retreat will end by 5pm. There will be a break for lunch (we remain in silence) in the middle of the day. Please see the what to bring page for information on bringing lunch to share.
Venue
All autumn retreats will be held at Headington Parish Hall, Old Headington, Oxford.
