Retreats & Special Events

Step away from everyday routines and immerse yourself in deeper meditation. From seasonal celebrations and guided day retreats to away trips, explore unique opportunities to nourish your mind.

"Only by creating peace within our own mind and helping others to do the same can we hope to achieve peace in this world."

What To Expect?

If you enjoy our weekly drop-in classes and would like to deepen your practice, our retreats & special events offer the chance to explore specific teachings in greater depth, experience traditional prayers and receive powerful blessings for lasting inner peace.

What is a Retreat?
 A chance to step back and focus deeply on a specific meditation practice. Retreat sessions combine guided meditation and practical commentary with traditional chanted prayers to inspire and quiet the mind.
What is a Special Event?
Special events include major spiritual milestones like Empowerments (blessing ceremonies), inspiring Public Talks & unique workshops, and warm social gatherings like our annual Christmas Meditation & Meal.
Advance Booking
Unlike our weekly classes, our retreats & special events are limited and need to be booked online in advance.
