Insight Meditation (Reflective Meditation) Retreats
These retreats are silent but with the opportunity to work in small groups and hold discussions or interviews with the teacher. The emphasis is on working with your own particular mediation practice. The approach allows for flexibility around difficulties with posture and daily routine.
For residential retreats nutritious vegetarian meals are provided and there are opportunities for camping and off-site accommodation.

Reflective Meditation Silent Retreat; Treading the Path with Care

You will learn how to allow your unique experience to unfold naturally, seeing even what you may usually view as unacceptable or mundane in a new way. Through an experience-based practice, you will journal and have the opportunity to report on your sittings as a way of cultivating greater awareness. You will learn from hearing each other’s experiences as well as from gentle inquiry by the teachers.
