About the Guided Meditation Retreat
IMPORTANT CHANGES: This retreat will now run Saturday and Sunday only. There will be no session and meal on the Friday evening. Please note that the start time for both days is now 9am. It is now also possible to book per day.
If we wish to lead the happy life we long for, we must learn how to transform our mind.
In this retreat, be guided through the essential meditations of Buddhism that will give rise to a complete transformation of your mind, freeing you from negative emotions and making joy and happiness your everyday reality.
The real magic and many benefits of meditation practice are discovered when we learn how to integrate the special views and intentions from Buddha’s ancient wisdom into our busy modern lives. For this reason, we have bought this retreat to you. The emphasis of this retreat will be on the application and integration of these profound instructions. In this way we will transform our views, intentions, self and life into an oasis of peace.
