Our mind’s true nature is like a clear sky, but so often it’s clouded by our busy, uncontrolled and sometimes negative thoughts.

In this one day retreat we will engage in meditations from the Buddhist Mahamudra tradition, leading to an experience of our spacious, peaceful, blue sky mind. Gen Sanden will explain how to eliminate distractions and engage in clear and joyful meditations.

What a great way to prepare for the holiday season ahead! 

This retreat is suitable for everyone - Buddhist, non-Buddhist, beginners and those with some experience of meditation. Everyone is welcome and will benefit from this day retreat!

To help us let go of our busy external world, settle our mind, and get the most out of this precious time on retreat, we will keep silence inside the building throughout the day.
