It encapsulates the entirety of the Buddhist path\, expressing the threefold training of ethics\, meditation\, and wisdom. This two-day urban retreat offers the ideal opportunity to escape from the hecticness of everyday life\, practice meditation\, and explore how loving kindness can transform our experience of others and the world around us. Whether you are new to meditation or an experienced practitioner\, this workshop offers a rich opportunity to reconnect with the heart of the Buddha’s teaching — and with a community of fellow meditators. \n \n \n \n \n \n Please note this event is not taking place in our usual premises.
