Retreats

Retreats offer the chance to break out of our usual routines and get a fresh perspective on our life. We can explore meditation and Buddhism much more deeply than is usually possible in an evening class at the Buddhist Centre, and build and deepen connections and friendships with others.  These retreats are suitable for anyone who has already completed our Introduction to Buddhist meditation course, unless specified otherwise. You may also like to visit this page for all Triratna retreats.

Are you new to retreats and not sure what to expect? We have two short videos at the bottom of the page, to give you an idea about what other people enjoy and some practical FAQs.

You can also catch up with some past retreat talks on this padlet page.
